Dragons Love Tacos: Members' Show

Dragons Love Tacos

Based on the book by Adam Rubin, adapted for the stage by Ernie Nolan. 

Directed by Emily M. Dixon

This deliciously funny live version of a favorite book is an unforgettable tale of new friends and the perfect snack that will make you laugh until spicy salsa comes out of your nose. Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Buckets and buckets of tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa ... oh, boy. You’re in red-hot trouble.

Ideal for ages 3-10 and their families. Tickets are $15 per person for adults and children.

Dragons Love Tacos is produced with permission from Plays for New Audiences, a division of Children’s Theatre Company.

Sheila has one whole summer to create the perfect fort, and she has four amazing friends to help her do it.

He sets his goals and works hard, learns about NASA, the Apollo missions, and our country's journey to space. Apollo to the Moon is an exciting look at the breathtaking risks and unforgettable heroism of the American Space program.
