Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like

By Bret Fetzer
The people of the ancient Chinese city of Wu are under attack from the wild horsemen of the North, and they pray for a dragon to save them. When a visitor arrives to help, none of the citizens believe she could save the city. Only a dragon will do for this job - and everyone knows what a dragon looks like...don't they?

    Cinderella and The Emperor's New Clothes

    By Michele Livermore Wigton
    Two Classic tales of expectations turned upside down will run in repertory this spring. In Cinderella our hard-working heroine proves that with good friends, strong will (and a little magic!), a kind heart can triumph over the wickedest creatures. In The Emperor's New Clothes a proud ruler lets his pride win out over his senses and learns not to believe everything he's told!
