What happens when a dragon moves into the neighborhood? Find out in this puppet play based on Kenneth Grahame’s tale of a gentle dragon and the boy who befriends him. Frightened and misguided villagers call upon Sir George to save them from the dragon, but the boy and Sir George quickly realize it’s the dragon who needs saving! Tears of Joy Theatre brings this charming tale to life.
