“The Imaginary Theatre Company continues to help us bring entertaining and educational children’s shows to the Tinnin Center,” said Tim Thompson, Director of the Tinnin Fine Arts Center. “I think that both children and their parents will find ‘My Father’s Dragon’ to be a great afternoon of entertainment.”

Based on the beloved Newbery Honor-Award-winning book, this comic adventure begins with Jim listening to his mother tell the story of Grandpa’s adventure to rescue a captive dragon. The tale sends Jim on a fantastic jungle journey past obstacles and wild animals to discover the importance of perseverance and the wonderful power of imagination. This show is recommended for grades K-3. Through the use of literature, folk tales, fairy tales, and new adaptations of classic works, the Imaginary Theatre Company provides the finest in theater for young theatergoers. The Company is part of the Repertory Theatre Company of St. Louis.
