On June 12, 13 and 14, 2008, Dreamchasers
presented the New England premiere of "Emma and the
Lost Unicorn." This was the second play by Trisha Sugarek produced by
Dreamchasers. In November of 2007, Dreamchasers presented
the World Premiere of Ms. Sugarek’s play “The Guyer Girls”
to packed houses and standing ovations. Ms. Sugarek will
attend Dreamchasers production of “Emma and the Lost
Unicorn”.
PLOT:
Ten year old Emma enjoys the forest near her home, only to
discover it is inhabited by all sorts of magic. She is
chosen by Cleo, the queen of the fairies, to help rescue a
unicorn trapped by the spell of an evil warlock named Kodak.
To succeed, Emma must best Kodak in a competition to solve
riddles. Why riddles? Because as Queen Cleo says, “In the

wise to resort to fists and weapons. Our words are our most
powerful weapons.”
