Photo Coverage: First Look at MY FATHER'S DRAGON at Synetic Theater

Synetic Theater will present a new adaptation of "My Father's Dragon" December 4, 2018 through January 6, 2019 at 1800 S. Bell St. in Crystal City.

The story follows the adventures of a young child who stows away to Wild Island with a new cat companion in an attempt to rescue a captive baby dragon. There, our hero learns to rely on the power of a creative imagination while discovering their own self worth and the power of friendship. This wordless Family Theater Production is directed and choreographed by Company Member Tori Bertocci, adapted by Company Member Ryan Sellers, and based on the book of the same name by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.synetictheater.org or via phone at 866-811-4111.
