Stories for Kids · Dirt Road Theater
by Dirt Road Theater
An episodic adventure story for humans of all ages! In the beginning everyone was nice. But over time, so slowly that no one could say when, or how, or why it started, the Fairies and the Ponies got...mean. Beatrice knew this because, although she couldn’t prove it yet, she knew that the Fairies and Ponies had stolen her egg. And stealing a dragon’s egg, in Beatrice’s opinion, was going too far. But to confront them she would need the help of a Knight. Produced by Dirt Road Theater in Northfield, VT, FADPAK was created by Gracelyn, Oliver and Dominic Spillane. It is edited and performed by Maren Langdon Spillane, and features original music by Nathan Leigh. Each episode is broadcast live to a virtual audience on Zoom and features a special guest artist whose illustration will come to life during the performance. The podcast will be released one week after the live performance. Website link - dirtroadtheater.com/fadpak

We have just started our second time through the story. Even knowing the story we are still so enrapt! Such great themes of family, teamwork, love, friendship, integrity, the list could go on forever. It’s told in a way that is enjoyable to both kids and adults. The best part are that the characters are not flat. You see the characters grow and change. You see them grapple with difficult and different things as their world gets bigger and changes. Just AMAZING. Waiting for season 4 with bated breath.
We have listened several times and we can listen several more times to this story. The story is exciting, it is funny, it is tense, it is joyful, it is sad, it is so many things. It is about family, friendship, adventure, courage, hope, and appreciating each and every individual for who they are. We would love more from these creators!
I was constantly amazed by how creative and how real and intricate Mrs Spillane made the story seem. I especially loved how they made the second season based off of a prophecy. I mean, name 1 amazing and must read fantasy novel(series) that doesn’t involve a prophecy!! And they really wove that song into the entire story. And, me being a pretty awesome reader and having written a few stories myself, I LOVED the plot, details, and sound effects that went with the story. As I was listening, I could literally see and hear the characters inside my head, and sympathized with them, and whenever Beatrice, her babies, Talora, Tom, and Furball prevailed, I would internally root for them and congratulate them. When they had their moments that were, well, not so good, I would get angry, annoyed, sad, and upset, especially when the Draglings thought that their mother was going to die.
This podcast and story is well written, has an intricate and captivating storyline, and is loved by the children and adults in our family. After listening to episodes, we spend time discussing and predicting story events. This has been a great way for us all to connect. We’re excited for Season 3!
