Looking for something to do after a movie or drinks in downtown Palo Alto? Join us for late night entertainment at The Dragon Theatre. Contact Kevin @ afterhours@dragonproductions.net for more information.
Storytime Series In an effort to reach younger audiences and build an educational outreach program, Dragon Productions is determined to implement a Storytime Series that would specifically cater to young children and their families. Dragon’s goal is to spark creative interest in theatre as an educational tool to aid positively in a child’s development. The stories are directly interactive with the use of illustrations to ground the plot and action. Also, the actor performing is able to embody the text by inhabiting the emotion, vocal qualities and physicality of the characters. The Storytime Series incorporates music, crafts, & other fun additions.
Dragon’s Storytime is different from the storytelling sessions that may occur at bookstores or libraries in that its goal is to bring to life the action of the text and inspire its young audiences to participate in the imaginary circumstances by creating an environment where the stories on the page become a physical script to act out and fully embrace. This will not only encourage an interest in reading, but a passion for verbal communication, artistic expression, musical enjoyment, and human interaction. Dragon is also determined that this program reach lower income and disadvantaged families as a way to provide an artistic opportunity to those who may not have as many resources to engage in similar activities. This series is sponsored by the John & Marcia Goldman Foundation. Underpriviledged families can get in free. Please contact info@dragonproductions.net for more information.
Dragon Exclusive Engagements will be listed here.
· Theatre Games Party- We lead the kids in fun warm-up and age appropriate Theatre Games, which get them up and acting with each other and for each other! If requested we can show parents the Games we've played in an Improvised Show at the end of the party. ($200)
· Story Book Party- We can tailor the party to a theme and the Birthday boy or girl can be their favorite character! We'll read their story and have the other children act it out! This can be presented at the end for the parents as a show. ($250)
· Dance Party- We get the kids up and moving then help them to choreograph a dance to a favorite song (decided and provided by Birthday boy/girl) . Kids participate by adding in their moves we help them to organize and perform it for parents at the end! ($250) The party rental is for 2 hours. The activity time with our professional host would be for roughly one hour and fifteen - thirty minutes. This allows time for the rest of the party to happen (your food & cake in the studio, and kids interacting on their own/opening presents etc.) (For younger children (4 and 5 year olds) less activity would be appropriate and we can select a few stories to act out that fit a Party Theme if desired.) Simply let us know the date you are interested & perhaps a 2nd choice & we will do what we can to accommodate per availability. We look forward to hosting your child’s party at Dragon!
