Dragon Song is a story about Mothers and Mothering. They give so much to birth-love and give much more when they let that love wing away. But many times during the intermediate - they look up to the sky in frustration and wail, "What did I do to deserve this?" Then, they look once more upon the little Dragons that caused the frustration and fall in love all over again.

That's the Magic of Mothers and... Dragon Song.

This play runs approximately 1 hour.

H.G. Wells' The Time Machine

The Texas Radio Theatre Company adapts H.G. Wells' classic story, where we travel to the year 100,080 and a world where beauty and terror live side-by-side. Suddenly the time machine, our only exit, is missing. Could the docile and weak inhabitants called Eloi be something other than what they appear, or is there something lurking in the shadows.
