A new musical adaptation of Nick Bland's beloved picture book series, set in the Jingle Jangle Jungle during a sudden storm. Zebra, Moose, Lion and Sheep search for a cosy place to play, disturbing one Very Cranky Bear who just wants to sleep. The show features painted stripes, borrowed antlers, an oversized golden mane, and explores themes of empathy, friendship and listening to others. Adapted by Tim McGarry with original music by Gabbi Bolt and directed by Nicole Pingon, presented by CDP Theatre Producers.
