Dragon's 2nd Stages Series to Open with Neil LaBute's SOME GIRL(S), 3/7-16
Dragon's brand new 2nd Stages series launches in March. This new series will give local theatre makers the opportunity to fully produce their passion projects with the support of an established theatre company. This dynamic pairing will create an exciting new set of theatre options in downtown Redwood City.
Making dreams a reality by sharing our experience and support - that's the purpose of the 2nd Stages series. "I founded Dragon Productions as an actress wanting to create more theatre opportunities. I had performed on many stages across the country, but I didn't know the first thing about producing theatre when I began. I did, however, know my passion projects, and I was determined to make my dreams come true. This series is for those artists, who, like me, want to see their passion theatre project come to life, but who might not have the opportunity, the money, or the know-how to make it happen. If we can give others the same opportunities then I'll feel as if all our hard work has really been worthwhile. What good is a dream if you can't share it with others? That is all I want to do with Dragon's 2nd Stages program." - Meredith Hagedorn, Founder and Executive Artistic director
2nd Stages shows run for two weeks only on Fridays at 8p, Saturdays at 2p and 8p, and Sundays at 2pm. The flat rate ticket price of $15 per show will make trying something new both affordable and accessible to the general public.
