Infinity Theatre Presents ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S 'WE ARE IN A PLAY', Beginning Today

Infinity Theatre Education will bring another great Theatre For Young Audiences show to Annapolis after last year's sold-out production of JACK VS. RAPUNZEL: THE MUSICAL.

ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY" will open on July 9th and play until August 6th at the CTA Theatre Complex, located at 1661 Bay Head Road in Annapolis.

Based on the ELEPHANT & PIGGIE books by Mo Willems, published by Hyperion Books for Children, the musical features script & lyrics by Mo Willems and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma.

Get ready for a musical experience ripped from the pages of Mo Willems's beloved, award-winning, best-selling children's books that will leave audiences doing the "Flippy Floppy Floory" dance all night long! In ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY!", Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure perfect for young audiences. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, "bestus" (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means "very best") friends. But Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual. That's 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, ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY!" is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre.

ELEPHANT & PIGGIE'S "WE ARE IN A PLAY" will run for 5 performances on the following dates: Today, July 9th - 11AM Saturday, July 16th - 11AM Saturday, July 23rd - 11AM Saturday, July 30th - 11AM Saturday, August 6th - 11AM.
