What happens when home is no longer where you left it?
“So Far From Home” is a magical, musical adventure about storytelling, community, and the journeys that shape us, inspired by the complex emotions and experiences of refugees throughout history—a story of love, loss, fear of the unknown, friendship, and reunion. When a group of dragons is forced to leave the cave they’ve called home for generations, the oldest dragon begins to tell stories of others who have also been displaced, and what they discovered along the way. Can Martians convince humans to let them join life on Earth? Should the survivors of Atlantis hide their memories… or share them? And are those ogres really what they seem?
Join dragons, Martians, Atlanteans, ogres—and even singing crabs and trees—on a journey filled with humor, imagination, and delightful surprises, where laughter and heart go hand in hand, and we discover that home may be closer than we think.
