A young troubled teen falls asleep after singing his little sister a lullaby on her birthday and is transported into a world of fantasy where an evil sorceress and her henchman panthers are collecting the last ones of their kind including a dodo bird, gryphon, unicorn, and a minotaur. And she keeps "hope" a prisoner as well. She sends our young hero on a quest to the last dragon's lair to find a magic opal that will let her control the world.

This classic good vs evil story is an all-ages pleaser with all original music, dancing, laughter, and is filled with messages that encourage everyone to stand up and take charge because we all are the last ones of our kind.

About The Last Dragon

In the early 1980s a group of students and professors wrote, composed, and performed an original rock musical called The Last Dragon. It was well received, critically lauded and toured the Pacific Northwest.

Then, for forty years, The Last Dragon slept.

This experience shaped lives, careers, and everlasting friendships. 

It is our honor to bring to Portland a reprisal of The Last Dragon with many of the original cast from the '80s. But this isn’t just about reliving the glory days. After production costs, all remaining proceeds and donations will go into a University of Oregon theatre scholarship fund.

We hope you'll bear witness as we help to bring the Dragon back to life for music, for the arts, and for the honor of these relationships and those we have lost along the way.

Perhaps we can help you relive some of the wonderful memories of your youth!

If you could live those moments again, and help others, wouldn’t that be a dream come true for you too?
