Thunder Mountain
This play is published in Blackbirds and Dragons, Mermaids and Mice
Winner of the Pittsburgh Playworks Festival
By Sandra Fenichal Asher

Cast: 2w., 3m. or w., extras as desired (see note). A dragon has stolen the sun and left the valley below Thunder Mountain dark, cold and barren. Villagers argue among themselves and hoard what little food they have left, until two brave young people set out to climb the forbidding mountain and confront the dragon. Approximate running time: 40 minutes.

Notes
CASTING NOTES: BAKER'S APPRENTICE and PETER (BRIDGET) may be doublecast as SILHOUETTES and/or DRAGON for a smaller cast of 4, with or without shadow and YOUNG DRAGON puppets. If ADDITIONAL VILLAGERS are used and extras are desired, actors and/or audience members may create the obstacles that stand in the way of the journey up the mountain: wind, wild animals, tree limbs, vines, rocks, etc., as well as YOUNG DRAGONS and a fuller cast of SILHOUETTES. A montage of ADDITIONAL VILLAGERS may also open the play, scurrying across the stage from various directions, eyeing one another suspiciously, hiding the goods they're carrying.
