Dreams are messy. Just like life.

ACT ONE: Two artists dream of leaving their city home and moving to the country (“Living Your Dream”). Their five children (Morgan, Jesse, Quinn, Jo, and Teddie) are fed up: why is it taking so long (“When”)? After squabbling with Dad, Mom's back goes out (“Slowly”). Meanwhile, Jesse decides to take matters into their own hands, searches the internet, and finds an old farm for sale (“This Is It”). Teddie convinces Mom check out the listing ("Slowly"/"When" reprise), but Dad isn't ready -- until Mom persuades him to visit (“You Move Me”). After the visit, everyone is thrilled and making plans -- except Quinn (“Everything I Need to Know") -- only to discover the farm they want is off the market (“Catch the Current”). Until it's back on again. Quinn does not want to leave the city (“Future in Me”), but refuses to be left behind (“Never Stop Creating”). When the family arrives at the farm (“We Are Here”), the farm has its own ideas of what it wants them to be: farmers. Morgan feels the pull first (“Ghosts in the Barn”) and decides they need a cow. Jesse decides they need a horse; Jo some chickens; and Teddie, a duck (“Why Not?”). As their household expands, Mom and Dad quarrel. Jesse and Quinn argue, and Quinn runs away ("Future in Me" reprise).

ACT TWO: After Jo and Teddie break Morgan’s new lathe and blame each other, Mom and Dad break into a fight (“No Dream of Mine”). Jesse runs in crying that their horse is missing – and so is Quinn. The family spreads out, desperate to find Quinn. In the woods, Jo and Teddie make up (“Copy Cat”); Jesse finds Quinn and apologizes (“Richer Am I”). Returning home, the kids bond over chore time (“Holy Cow!”), only to discover Jesse’s cat -- dead. Quinn is the first to notice the cat had recently given birth. Quinn finds the kittens -- and their own reason to stay on the farm. Mom and Dad realize that, amidst the chaos of farm life, they are creating the art they want to create (“Happy If – Happy When”). The musical ends as the family comes together: Living their dream was not what they expected and exactly what they needed ("Love Is").
