La MaMa Kids:The Dragon's Laugh & Other Tales
Created and Performed by Charlotte Lily Gaspard
Produced by Midnight Radio Show
Join "bona fide fairy princess" Charlotte Lily Gaspard for enchanting original fairytales and songs by Midnight Radio Show! Shadow puppetry breathes life into these delightful short stories of adventure and friendship. In one story, a dragon and a fairy become friends, although their families disapprove. Complications ensue, and the new-found companions must go on a quest together as they prove that friendship can be found anywhere and with anyone.
