Smaug

The dragon Smaug from the Hobbit

This is the Dragon Smaug from a production of the Hobbit by Northwest Children's Theater and School. (That's me in the hat, I've had my hair cut since then.) To give you an idea of scale, I'm five foot seven. Smaug's head alone is seven feet long. He is made out of rattan and covered with red metallic lycra. His eyes light up, and close and he rears about 14 feet above the stage floor. We would have gone higher, but we ran into the speakers. He also breathed smoke (CO2). This show had what we call a high pee factor. I worked with Lance Woolen to make him.
