About the Show

In DARK PONY, a father tells his very young daughter her favorite story about a heroic fictional character named Rainboy, who could always count on his friend Dark Pony to rescue him from disaster.

Total Runtime for both plays is 50 minutes. Not recommended for children under the age of 13.
