Join Joan on a wild, circus-filled adventure of epic friendship, big laughs, and daring dragon secrets!

Joan doesn’t fit in – and honestly, she’s done trying! When whispers of a mysterious Dragon reach her ears, she sets off on a wild, topsy-turvy adventure packed with circus chaos, big laughs, and surprising secrets. Expect daring discoveries, epic friendship, and a heroine who might just be exactly who she’s meant to be. This original production has been created by disabled and neurodivergent artists.
