←Recommendations of The Boy Who Cried Dragon

"The Boy Who Cried Dragon" is a feel-good play that has humor, adventure, stakes, and imagination to satisfy its audiences.

What's especially nice is that Inda Craig-Galván wants her protagonist, Travis, to be a positive influence on the life of his family and community, instead of a belligerent brat in the folk tale that inspired this play. This is marvelous Theatre for Young Audiences: colorful, bold, imaginative, emotional, funny, and true.

A charming and fantastic piece of theatre. Succinct and sublime, the perfect TYA play.

A magical piece with some gets to the heart of the matter and provides some great lessons about dreaming and imagination that all will love! Fantastic!

I am in love with this show.

What a beautiful fairy tale, and what a gift to a young actor and to young audiences alike. Why did the boy cry, "Wolf"? And what happens when imaginary wolves become a real dragon? Read to find out, and enjoy your time spent in the company of characters with big hearts and big imaginations.

A sweet play full of magic, with some character-driven humor that winks at the adults now and then. Lovely.

Set in a little town with a park that maybe is a dragon forest, a young boy's imagination (maybe) springs to life in the form of a (maybe) dragon. Imagination and reality are side-by-side and there is the element of never being absolutely sure where one ends and the other begins. Young audiences will not only relate to the vegan dragon (of course) but with Travis's need for excitement in his self-proclaimed boring life. Especially loved the nuances in the mother/son relationship and Travis's delightful "smarts."

Clover Park High School proudly presented this work on November 17-18, 2017. Our young actors throughly enjoyed the chance to creatively explore the endless possibilities found in the world of this play.
