Mother Goose is a drag comic chamber opera with a libretto and music by Felix Jarrar based on an original story. The world premiere performance will take place on Thursday, November 21st at 7:30pm at Dixon Place'x Mainstage in a production by Bea Goodwin.

Leonora Goosling, the innkeeper of the Mother Goose Inn and Suites, stops at nothing to record her guest’s tales and their happy endings. She is renowned throughout the land of Happily Ever After for her tales, which have led her to become colloquially known as ‘Mother Goose’. Her latest quest becomes complicated when the evil witch, Gnat, seeks revenge. With the help of the Fairy Godmother, Oscar the fox, and Princess Todger Dodger, she hopes to rescue Princess Talia, AKA “Sleeping Beauty”. Madness, murder, disguises, and the debut of Ugly Duckling, the land’s newest pop star, threaten their journey.
