The Rapunzel Club Virtual

About

Magic spells, a secret club, and an angry dragon on the loose…

When a powerful dragon is unleashed in the land, the villagers of Sunnyshire relocate to a high tower for protection. Tired of living inside the tower walls, a group of three unlikely friends unite to form The Rapunzel Club -- and hatch a high-stakes plan to defeat the dragon and return to normal life.

Our kid heroes join forces with a first-time knight and an expert sorceress, and use a combination of science, bravery and quick-thinking to save their kingdom.

The Rapunzel Club TheaterWorks Anywhere Edition has book and music by Tyrone L. Robinson and Jason Rhyne and lyrics by Jason Rhyne.

The approximate running time is 20 - 30 minutes.
