ENCHANTMENT THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS MY FATHERS DRAGON Based on the beloved stories By RUTH STILES GANNETT Illustrated by RUTH CRISMAN GANNETT
By special arrangement with Ruth Stiles Gannett
My Fathers Dragon, based on the beloved book series by Ruth Stiles Gannett. In collaboration with the author and in celebration of the books 70th Anniversary we are delighted to bring these enchanting books to life.
When nine-year old Elmer Elevator hears about a baby dragon who is held captive by the ferocious animals of Wild Island, he sets off on an adventure to rescue the dragon and return him home. With the help of his friend the Alley Cat, Elmer packs everything he thinks hell need including chewing gum, two-dozen lollipops, seven hair ribbons and a box of rubber bands! With pluck and ingenuity Elmer makes his way to the Island, outwits the wild animals and saves Boris, the dragon. But can they find their way back home? As they travel over the ocean they get lost in a storm and discover a magical island of escaped canaries. The resourceful Elmer helps the canaries overcome their curiosity disease and uncover a stash of hidden riches. With bags of gold and the canaries blessings, the dauntless duo at last returns home. With talking animals, a daring rescue, a flying dragon, buried treasure and lots of humor throughout, this fabulous adventure is brought to the stage in Enchantment Theatres distinctive style. Using puppets, masks, inventive scenic effects and original music, Enchantment Theatre Company is delighted to bring you the story of a compassionate and courageous young boy and his unlikely friendship with a splendid yellow and bluestriped dragon.
