Land of the Dragon charms Beckley youths in Oriental play
The Junior Department of Beckley Women’s Club presented Madge Miller’s The Land of the Dragon at The Playhouse. A youthful stylized Chinese theater used few props and vivid costumes to tell Princess Jade Pure’s tale. Road Wanderer and Dragon Small One rescue her from a cruel fate, with Precious Harp and court schemers aiming to claim the throne. The performance, directed by George Warren Hodel, drew steady attention from local children and families.
