Dragon Scales and Faerie Tales
Once upon a time is now…

A show for the child in all of us! With elements such as audience participation, tricks and humor, our show is a memorable experience for adults and children alike. Young ones are enchanted by seeing the dragon come to life and many depart truly believing the dragon is real. Each performance ends with a meet and greet, so everyone who wishes to meet the dragon and faerie can have a chance to do so. This gives our performers an opportunity to interact one on one with the children, who will leave your event with memories that will last a lifetime.

Dragon Scales and Faerie Tales
is a magical telling of the birth of a real "live" baby dragon. With the support of its loving faerie, the 8-foot dragon hatches from an extraordinary large golden egg. Together, the beautiful faerie and the audience welcome the dragon, then name, feed, and teach him to talk. At the show's conclusion, the kind faerie enlists the audience's help to tell the dragon a bedtime story involving the dragons search for a friend and his difficulty in being accepted by the local villagers. The story teaches the moral of not fearing the unknown or those who are different. Afterwards, the children in the audience are delighted with the opportunity to personally hug and kiss the dragon goodnight providing parents with a wonderful opportunity to photograph their child with the dragon and faerie.
