Dragons Love Tacos!

Summer 2025/ Frisco Discovery Center

Reviews and Feedback

  • "There are few things more magical than watching a child fall in love with theatre, and I was honored to witness several such children at CenterStage Theatre Works’ production of Dragons Love Tacos!, currently running at the Frisco Discovery Center . . . The wide-eyed smiles and laughter from the audience of mostly young kids was absolutely contagious, and the adults were swept up in the magic as well . . . On that note, I want to send a special shout-out to CenterStage Theatre Works for producing works for children that are acted by adults. While there are many area theatres offering classes for kids who want to learn about acting and being onstage (usually resulting in a performance or two), there are very few opportunities in the area—especially this far north in the Metroplex—that provide opportunities for children to be exposed to live theatre made just for them.

  • "CenterStage Theatre Works is a warm, inviting little theatre where you feel like you’re part of the show. The characters in Dragons Love Tacos have so much interaction with the audience. The kids loved it and even those who haven’t read the book will love the show. And after the show there’s so much to see and do at the Frisco Discovery Center! Five stars ***** A great show to take your kiddos to!""
