Express Children's Theatre to Close Season with MY BFF, THE DRAGON

By: Tyler Peterson May. 29, 2015

Selected from submissions from around the world, MY BFF, THE DRAGON, by Ryan Cavanagh, will be the final production of Express Children's Theatre 24th season, "Around the World and Across the Street."

A rollicking family adventure with original music, MY BFF, THE DRAGON tells the story of a Human Prince and a Dragon Princess forced into an age-old battle by their parents. But in the heat of the conflict, the royal offspring discover that they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined.

The play examines issues of racism and bigotry in an accessible way that will appeal to people of all ages.

The play is directed by David LaDuca; with original music by Garrick Gonzalez; costumes by Becky Maymi, and sets and choreography by David LaDuca. The cast includes Jordi Viscarri as Prince Peter, Chaney Moore as Princess Puffa, Chris Gibson as the Human King, and Robert Meza as the Dragon Queen.

Interview: Tyer Joseph Ellis of SHUCKED at The Hobby Center For Performing Arts

I don't want to give too much away, but we are about corn, as you can see from all the marketing materials. But it's about a town called Cobb County that is somewhere sort of in the middle of the U.S.A. This town sort of runs on corn, but the corn starts dying, so a brave young woman has to leave the town, and accidentally enlists a con man to come back to the town with her, and hilarity ensues.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Alley Theatre

Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.
