The Story

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of this Newbery Honor-winning children’s classic, ITC welcomes a premiere adaption to the stage. Jim is restless at home on summer vacation, but mom knows what will entertain him—the story of Granpa’s adventure to rescue a captive dragon! Join Jim for a fantastic jungle journey past obstacles and wild animals, as together we discover the importance of perseverance and the wonderful power of imagination.
