My play was well received this December. It was a musical, with several dance numbers, a sword fight, and a wonderful cave scene that included the 3-d dragon I made. It took me about three days to carve it from foam and then I had to add all the wonderful details and coloring. It took three people to operate during the play- one was the voice, one handled the head and neck and one, the wing and tail. Several children thought it was real for sure and a couple even cried! I loved the audible gasp from the audience when he first appeared! It was so rewarding! The special effects for this scene-fog, black & green lights, electric fire- completed the awesome wonder of the dragon's cave!
