Such a fun whimsical take on childhood and our childhood love of dolls and dragons . Well worth the time. A family friendly show.
A lively and an outstanding show with great performers. Bravo!
Loads of fun with an amazing dragon! And a really cool film!
What a great show! The storyline, actors, props, and costumes were wonderful! What a fantastic dragon. I didn’t know what to expect but I knew the performers so I knew I would not be disappointed. To soothe, train or slay the dragon. Don’t miss this show.
I saw this show 5 times–from the first one, then intermittently until the last show on Saturday the 27th. Julie Noonan and Mary Schmidt have teamed up to bring an extraordinary show to the public, and I really enjoyed seeing how the show and characters developed during it’s many-day run. Brilliantly written by Noonan, the characters of the “dolls” had me laughing every time–at different places. The addition of the dancer the last couple shows was extraordinary. Mary Schmidt’s use of storytelling and relating the themes back to her childhood was a great use of introducing the topics that played out before us. And the dragon? Wow, it looked so realistic. This was a fantastic use of spoken word, theater, music, dance, film, and fantasy that created the perfect cocktail that enables us to go out into the world and face our dragons. Bravo!
