How to Draw Mystical Creatures

The Toy Box Theatre Company presents the world premiere of How to Draw Mystical Creatures, by Ellen Margolis. Two generations struggle with their terrors and errors, learning to confront the limits of love and the presence of the big bad wolf.

The action is non-linear yet forward-moving as it jumps among times and realities while it builds to an inevitable climax: a baby left on a doorstep with instructions to raise her in the faith; a mother whose terrors control her son’s life; negotiating with Santa Claus; standing up to Saints; and keeping the wolf from the door. Two generations look for something to believe in, with this new play that asks: do we have to destroy our children?

Starring: Emily Bodkin, Janet Dunson, Debra Lass, Susan Maris, John Moletress and David Michael Roth. Directed by: Michael D. Holmes.

Part of the New York International Fringe Festival
