In a time before language when dragons reigned, a lone Neanderthal finds friendship and strength to defeat a menacing foe, in a family-friendly puppet show with a fantastical and unexpected transformation.

Audience and Administrator Reviews and Testimonials:
Our entire elementary school was mesmerized by “The Dragon and the Wanderer”! It was a wonderful combination of storytelling, music, theatre arts and puppetry. The students and staff were engaged throughout the entire performance and were so excited to talk to Leah and Aaron afterwards. It was especially impactful for our Multilanguage Learner population and our nonverbal/academically delayed students. We will have Wandering Theatre back any time!

Check out this write-up from behindthefringe.org about our time performing in Scotland during our European tour in the summer of 2019!
The Dragon and the Wanderer is a self-produced puppet show, created and performed by Aaron Roberge and Leah Holleran, two working artists who decided that a self-starting backpacking tour of an original children’s show is the only way to honeymoon. Now, they are beginning their U.S. tour in their self-converted skoolie! Any and all support of their crazy endeavor means the world, and makes a huge difference!
