Feeding the Dragon
Opening Night: April 3, 2018
Closing: April 27, 2018
Theater: Cherry Lane Theatre
Sharon Washington plays nearly 20 characters in her own true story of growing up in the custodial apartment of a Manhattan library, where her father toils night and day to load the fiery furnace with coal, or in the eyes of a fanciful little bookworm, to feed the dragon. Shrouded in family mystery, Sharon’s story boldly examines how both the power of forgiveness and her lifelong love for the written word have helped her battle dragons of all forms.

For library lovers and assorted bibliophiles, the set of Sharon Washington’s solo show, “Feeding the Dragon,” at the Cherry Lane Theater, is a geeky pleasure — long, neat rows of colorful books; card catalogs along the edges; big multipaned windows above gleaming hardwood floors. To anyone who feels most at home surrounded by things to read, it feels like an invitation: Want to hear a story? Yes, please.
