"Engaging, Vibrant... Wows the whole family"

Richmond Family Magazine

The imagination of Mo Willems returns to the stage in this rollicking, vaudevillian romp, perfect for introducing young people to the joy of putting on a play. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie solve problems, sing, make each other laugh, and even teach the audience a dance known as the Flippy Floppy Floory.

Most appreciated by ages 3 - 7.
