Sponsored by CARE-Dallas and coming to you from New York City's Theater District, My Pet Dragon is the first musical that deals with addiction head-on and in a constructive way. You will laugh as much as you will cry. The show tells a story of hope amidst the onslaught of dark endings portrayed in the media."
Governed by the Actor’s Equity Stage Reading Code: the actors will have their scripts, stage directions will be read aloud, and the use of costumes, choreography, and sets are not permitted.

35th Parallel Productions is very proud to create avenues for new work to grace our stages. We welcome your support of this relevant new musical! Using the metaphor of a Dragon for a young girl’s battle with addiction, MY PET DRAGON tackles a serious (and timely) issue in a way that is thought-provoking and entertaining. Addiction is an important and terrifying topic and art can be curative.
"My Pet Dragon captured me from the very start. It never flagged. It skillfully combined creativity and credibility as we witness a young person's descent into the seductive, awful grip of an all-to-human affliction and the difficult battle to get back control of her life. It is riveting, searing, poignant, and inspiring." - Steve Forbes, Chairman of Forbes Media.
