ABOUT THE SHOW
"It steals the audience and steals hearts," wrote a critic when this warm and moving play opened at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina. A young boy notices that his grandfather has changed—he has become short-tempered and no longer shares the enchanting stories that once filled their home. Concerned and wanting to reconnect, the boy enlists his grandfather’s help with a school project that involves counting the stars. As they spend time together, the grandfather slowly begins to open up again, telling stories filled with wonder and imagination. One tale, in particular, captivates the boy: it is about a dragon in the sky that guards the stars. The grandfather explains an old legend that says if the stars were ever returned to the earth, it could bring about a new paradise, free of unhappiness and sorrow. Inspired and determined, the boy embarks on a courageous quest related to the dragon and the stars, motivated by his love for his grandfather and a desire to make a difference in his life. Throughout the journey, the boy comes to a deeper understanding of his grandfather, their connection, and the importance of care, love, and presence in one another’s lives.
