About the Author/Composer

Dan Bagan is  a singer, songwriter, screenwriter, author, composer, teacher, director, conductor,

vocal clinician, producer, and rancher (yes you read that right) .He and his wife Wendy, live on  

their ranch near the town of Rochester along with 14 horses one dog and one cat. The people and

town of  Athabasca (and regions) have inspired  him to  get  back to  one of  his  first loves  -  the

theatre.  “The talent in  this area is second to none!” says Dan and  what  he thoroughly  enjoys is

taking the novice actor to a level of professionalism everyone can be proud of.

About the Play

Little Girl Lost takes place in  the fictitious suburb of Burlinton in some part of North America   where the  winter nights are  just above freezing.  Our story centers around a strong-willed 9yr old named Amanda who, when she overhears she  isn’t going to get the  doll she wants for Christmas,  punishes her  parents by running away two days before  the big day. She gets on an express bus and ends up downtown where she is befriended by a little street girl named Katie, who talks her into coming home  with her. Little  does Amanda  know that “home,”is an  old  abandoned  church  where a  street-gentleman and  bag lady with Alzheimer’s take care of a  large family of  street-kids.   In a delightful harmony of characters, subplots & unforgettable songs Amanda and the entire cast experience the true meaning of Christmas.
