City as a Venue: Front Range Fables - Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center

To Slay the Dragon by Jonathan Andujar

Based on the Radio Play by Mickey Burdick

At the foot of a great mountain, there was a city. And in the heart of the city, there lived a dragon, who was much loved by the children of the city. But one day, a knight in shining armor showed up on horseback, on a mission to slay the dragon. This play is a parable based on the historic Conejos neighborhood, a tight-knit immigrant community in Colorado Springs. Themes include gentrification and the power of oral tradition.
