Orlando Family Stage
The Finest in Family Theater
In this deliciously funny new musical, based on the #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon, you will learn that dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So, if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos! Where there are tacos, there is also salsa. Beware, if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa… oh boy, you are in red-hot trouble!

A Relaxed Performance is an inclusive live theatrical experience designed to be accessible to individuals with sensory sensitivities, people with disabilities, or anyone who might benefit from a more relaxed environment. Along with offering a few technical modifications and support materials, this supportive environment provides an opportunity to attend live theatre in a comfortable setting. As the name suggests, these performances are less formal and more supportive of sensory, communication, movement and learning needs. At no time will anyone be asked to leave the performance due to sound, movement or behaviors related to cognitive/developmental abilities.
A slight technical modification for our relaxed performances will include our house lights remaining on, but at a lower level.
Prior to the performance, there will be a social story that describes the events of the day. This can be found at the Box Office. During the performance, there will be a designated quiet area in case patrons would like to step out. Patrons are able to come and go as needed.
