“It is a blast to see this production coming to life again with a fresh and super talented cast and in a cool, new theater!” shares creator and director Josh Kammerman.
In “The Tale of the Dragon’s Tail,” a prince and princess meet and fall in love at first sight, but right as they are about to plan their nuptials, two evil and very incompetent wizards cast a spell on the princess that convinces her the only way she can marry the prince is if he brings her the tail of a ferocious dragon.
Follow the prince as he embarks on a wild journey to break the spell, and meets along the way lots of colorful characters, including a funny map seller, an ogre, a mysterious old lady, a giant and eventually the dragon with the tail that can break the spell.
An interactive adventure musical full of action, fun and dance for the whole family.
Featuring Katelyn Lauria, Richard Lurie, Vikki Martin, Andrew Martinelli and Esti Mellul.
