Book and Lyrics by Mo Willems
Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
Directed & Choreographed by Darlene Zoller
An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, "bestus" friends. Piggie is happier and more excited than usual because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles: three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible! Filled with beloved characters and lively songs, in Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure that is perfect for audiences of all ages.

At a sensory friendly performance: house lights are kept partially on; volume is turned down; sound and lighting elements that may be jarring are eliminated; electronic devices such as iPads are allowed; audiences members can come and go if needed; a safe space is created in the lobby for those who do have to exit the theatre; and fight toys are welcomed.
