The hand-puppet adventure, GEORGE AND THE DRAGON, is performed in a
walking or bag stage. While the action is taking place on the puppet
stage, puppeteer Peter Allen’s legs and feet are visible as
the
entire stage walks and moves around the performance area. Fast-paced
action and lots of audience participation keep this lively show moving
right along.
Our hero, George, discovers that a dragon is destroying the Kingdom,
and it wants to eat the Princess for dinner! It is up to George (with
the audience’s help) to rescue the Princess and slay the
Dragon.
George’s quest takes him to the farmlands, the
King’s
palace, into the Wizard’s cave and even outside the
Dragon’s lair. All of these locations are hand-painted onto
scenery, which dramatically unrolls as the story unfolds.
This popular show has delighted audiences at outdoor fairs, theaters,
puppet festivals, schools and libraries in Hawaii, Washington,
Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. Reviewers
enjoyed the “...beautifully constructed puppets...spectacular
Dragon...live voices and music” and “audience
participation”. This entertaining show is designed for family
groups but the “dragon scenes” can be a little
intense for
toddlers.
