Dragon has two primary activities: theatrical performances new and rarely seen works, and all-inclusive classes for all ages taught by professional artists. In 2020 we produce 6 plays - 3 plays were part of our Main Stage season and 3 plays were part of our 2nd Stages Series. The 2nd Stages series is a unique program that we've been running for several years that gives seed moey to local artist to produce a passion project play and we mentor them through the entire process of producing a show. AJs Annual Party was converted to an online program after Covid-19 hit - an adaptation of Joseph Moncure March's poem "The wild Party" as part of the Dragon's Nest Incubator Prrogram. Short Play Clinic - orginally a signle in-person event turned into an online monthly event in collaboration with Fuse Theatre. This program allowed monthly opportunites for playwrights in the bay are, around the globe to have their short plays performed. By the end of th eyear our collaboration ended and Dragon continued with aspects of the program as Dragon eggs. Our 2020 season included the following plays The Nether, a sci-fi crime dramme which blurs reality into virtual realm. Caught - the story of an artist who spent two years in a CHinese detention center for being subversive which unspools new revelations and points of view. Spring Awakening, a collaboration with Portola Valley Children's Theatre which was canceled due to Covid-19.
