The Reluctant Dragon - Wednesdays - Van Hise

In this beloved classic story, set in medieval England, village children befriend a poetry-loving Dragon living in a cave nearby. When the Village officials find out about the Dragon, they send for the brave knight, Sir George, to destroy him. The children must come up with a clever plan to save their Dragon friend and convince everyone to accept the Dragon before it's too late! First Act is delighted to bring this original play, based on the book by Kenneth Grahame, to our stage, so be sure to join us for this heroically kind fairytale!

From novice to experienced young performers, our after-school production classes provide a universal approach to children's theatre for students in grades 1 through 6 that embraces diversity and encourages inclusion and self-esteem. Audition skills are introduced and refined. Creative movement, vocal strength, memory development, acting technique, singing, dancing and group cooperation are fostered throughout the eight weeks of rehearsal. The fun culminates in a FREE fully-costumed performance for family and friends!
