The Jungle Book, By Joseph Robinette - One of literature's most enduring classics is brought vividly to the stage in this exciting adventure of Mowgli, the Indian boy, raised by caring wolves, befriended by Bagheera, the Panther, and Baloo, the Bear, and threatened by Shere Kahn, the evil tiger. Also present are an array of other jungle creatures that inhabit this action-filled play. Interspersed with the Mowgli tale is the equally intriguing story of a young Rudyard Kipling, who is sent from his home in Bombay to a British boarding school where he encounters his own "jungle," including people—both good and otherwise—who parallel many of the animal characters he created. Filled with excitement and humor, the play highlights the struggle of good versus evil, the worth of friendship, and the importance of loyalty and other values required for surviving the "law of the jungle." While the very young audiences will delight in the portrayal of the animals and the fast-paced action, older children will be fascinated by the character relations and the story itself, as well as the unique introduction to the author. Friday & Saturday Showtimes are7:30 pm and Sunday Showtimes are 2:30 pm. Follow the PFAA Face book page for more information and show updates! Visit the PFAA website for ticket information! |
