    Such a fun mystery adventure fueled by heat, ice cream, and a potential dragon. And it's even more intriguing due to the fact that it's based on a real prank! I love the songs and the awareness and the fun opportunities it provides for the whole cast.

    Beware! For you are certain to fall in love with the ongoing humor and lyrical storytelling of this small-town tale. I'm so glad I couldn't resist a play with Dragon in the title - this play showcases plenty of fun characters for young actors and adults, as we follow Dotty, Mickey, and family in solving the great mystery of Lake Orion. Ahhhh!

    That’s entertainment! Fun for the whole family! Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn has created a fun-filled mystery based on an actual legend that is at once a throwback to child detective stories like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and also a forerunner of Schmigadoon! What a treat! Even better than fish ice cream!
