Since the first book, Franklin in the Dark, was published in 1986, Franklin has gained worldwide fame. The series of books, written by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark, have sold more than 54 million copies around the globe, and the resulting television series is one of the highest rated kids programs on all US cable networks and syndicated television. Imaginative story lines and memorable art have made Franklin a friend to every child. In Koba's live production, Franklin and his pals reassure children that it's okay to feel a myriad of ever-changing emotions, and
encourage young people to solve problems on their own.

Join Franklin on a quest to recover the lost "Golden Necklace" of Princess Harriet. Along the way, the gang must prove themselves worthy in an attempt to win the "Silver Shield" - the most treasured prize of knighthood. On their crusade, they come upon all sorts of obstacles, including a fierce fire breathing dragon, 2 riddle loving Gargoyles, and a Wily Winged Beast! Is Snail too small to be a hero? Will Beaver outwit the Gargoyles? Who will prove the most worthy knight and win the treasured "Silver Shield"? This musical adventure will have the whole family cheering and
clapping to the original songs, music and dance as they join Franklin and his courageous friends and save the day!
