Elephant & Piggie comes to life at the IRT

INDIANAPOLIS — For the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s fifth year of its Exploring Stages program, the Theatre will produce Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” by award-winning children’s illustrator and author Mo Willems. This first-ever musical in this youth-serving series will run from Feb. 21 – March 24 in the Cabaret for children ages 3 – 8 years old and their families.
Based on the more than 20 books by Mo Willems about Elephant Gerald and Piggie, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” is a rollicking celebration of friendship and fun as the dynamic duo discovers what it means to be best friends, the importance of sharing and accepting differences, and the excitement of a day when anything can happen.
This daytime production features storytime seating where children and adults can sit on the floor, in addition to chair options along the back or side of the theatre. There will be pre- and post-show activities for an experience totaling 75 minutes. To join in on this joyful jamboree, you can purchase tickets online at irtlive.com or by calling the IRT Ticket Office at 317-635-5252.
