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.
