City Park Elementary Presents: Imagine a Dragon! 

The dragon is back in town… or is it? Join us for Imagine a Dragon, a delightful and heartwarming musical adventure filled with humor, bravery, and an epic folk-rock score! In this charming tale, a ragtag group of innkeepers invents a dragon story to save their struggling inn — but when unexpected heroes, princesses, and townsfolk arrive ready to prove their courage, the truth may be harder to hide than they imagined. Along the way, everyone discovers there may be more than one way to save the day.

Our talented student performers have been working hard to bring this magical story to life, and you won’t want to miss it!

📅 Performance Dates & Times:

Monday, March 30 at 6:00 PM – City Park Auditorium

Tuesday, March 31 at 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM – City Park Auditorium

We hope you’ll join us in supporting our students as they take the stage for this fun and inspiring production!
