St. George and the Dragon
General Info:
St. George & the Dragon
Getting the audience into the
show is what the Ren Faire genre does best, and this show was created for
that. This interactive children’s show is high-energy fun for the
whole family. The show involves an all-child cast onstage, yet draws
the entire audience in shouting, laughing and clapping. In a play-friendly
environment, each child becomes the star of the moment, while concurrently
engaging the adult audience with improvisation and humor.
Wherever this show is performed,
it quickly becomes the “family stop” on the PR manager’s press tour.
Consequently, it has been featured in news articles across the country.
St. George has been an audience
favorite at California Faires for over a decade. It has also enjoyed
performances in Maryland, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina,
Colorado and New York.
The Class:
For classroom and assembly purposes,
the show can be expanded to a 45 minute -1 hour class on Pageants in the
Renaissance Era. The purpose of pageants (Entertainment, Education
and Religion) are covered; students get on their feet and portray several
basic characterizations, the roll of the audience in performance is discussed
(with the class screaming "Boos", "Huzzahs", and other supportive sounds),
culminating in a performance of St. George, portrayed by 6 students.
The class has been performed at Workshops in the Woods programs in Northern
and Southern California, and classrooms, assemblies and libraries all over
the state.
