The show is a celebration of belonging, friendship, and our connection to nature presented through music, movement, and colorful characters that the whole family can enjoy.
The 30 youth, ages 8-16, performance reminds us that belonging, found family, and our shared connection to nature tie us all to the same jungle. “The Jungle Book” tickets can be purchased at https://cur8.com/25844/project/138248.
