Dragon Medicine

"Southern roots, universal truths."

Dragon Medicine is a powerful and imaginative series of monologues that explores what happens when voices go unheard. When individuals feel dismissed or silenced, conflict erupts, they thrash, they act out. ETC brushes off the dust from this powerful work written by the late Howell Pearre where each character symbolizes a “dragon,” delivering a raw, honest and revealing monologue that lays bare their inner world. Whether comic or tragic, the simple yet transformative act of being truly heard becomes the “medicine” that allows these dragons to heal, reclaim their power, or simply move forward. Dragon Medicine is a bold reminder of the human need for listening, empathy, and connection.
