"The Ruby Dagger of Shining Mountain" is an intriguing drama that many say will be a long runner for years to come. Others believe the lore is too confusing, and newcomers should watch the show from the beginning if you want to understand what is going on.

But what kind of powers does the dagger really have, and what secrets does it hold?

As the group's caravan arrived in Bigrotte a few days later, Serena gasped in excitement over a poster on a lamppost. "Oh, Arceus! The Brilliante Troupe is here for Bigrotte's annual Diamond Festival!" "I seem to remember their performance of 'The Faithful Fair One' a few years ago--and they were gracious enough to come perform in Croquis' little theater." Brock remembered as Serena guided the caravan past the colorfully decorated houses on the town's main street to the inn. "You are in luck, caravanners--I still have some rooms left." the innkeeper assured Serena. "But in honor of the festival, I have waived the usual fee for caravanners." "Thank you, good sir..." Serena replied as she gave the innkeeper a bag of coins. "Please take some coins anyway to cover the upkeep of our wagon and to care for the Ponytas." "Very well, good lady..." the innleeper replied as he accepted the coins. "We'll take care of your wagon and your Ponytas while you enjoy the festival--if you hurry, the

"Originally, Brock and me were supposed to be love interests, with Misty as the jealous rival." May remembers. "But Misty didn't like that idea--and Brock didn't either. So with the playwright's permission, we rewrote our characters from the ground up to the show you see today. We never saw the love interest version of the script--and that's probably a good thing!" "I am SO glad we didn't go with the original version

"Journey to the Mysterious Palace" is an intriguing new drama that many say evokes the iconic "Eight Spirits' Journey to the Night Castle". However, many that have seen the show say the show and the iconic play are very different. The show tells the story of Lucky Taillow, who takes it upon herself to journey to the titular palace, and learn if its sudden appearance in the Waku-like fantasy world is something to be revered, or feared.

"We're all across the stage, in the aisles, and flying high above the audience! It was a little nerve racking doing some parkour inside the aisles--since we do have to keep audience safety in mind when we go out into the audience. But the awed and amazed chatter as the audience became part of the show was worth it!" "We are told all through the play that the tower touches the sky--so it was a
