"An exceptional mix of smart, entertaining wordplay, well-crafted songs and tight staging...An unusually clever musical fantasy!" (LA TIMES).

Tests and quests, dragons and flagons, damsels to save and heroes brave abound in this enchanting amalgamation of Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and the Little Rascals, liberally dosed with intrigue, adventure, romance, political satire and more than a soupçon of humor written by Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo (countless productions include Audition: The Musical, Love in Bloom, Author! Author! An Evening with Sholom Aleichem) with words & music by E. Rudie and Matthew Wrather (dreamward; Canteen: an exploration of war and other unnatural disaster). Directed by Chris DeCarlo (Jerry Mayer's Aspirin & Elephants; Last of the Knotts - LA TIMES Critics Choice) and Associate Director Serena Dolinsky (Wonderland - UK premiere; Actually! - world premiere).
