Stages St. Louis Presents THE JUNGLE BOOK, 6/20-7/1

STAGES ST. LOUIS announces this season's Theatre for Young Audience production. Disney's The Jungle Book will be presented June 20 through July 1 at the Skip Viragh Center for the Arts at Chaminade through a new partnership between STAGES ST. LOUIS and Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis.

The jungle is jumpin' with jive in this bright and bouncy Family Theatre treat Inspired by the classic Rudyard Kipling stories and based on the beloved Walt Disney film. Join Mowgli, Baloo, King Louie and the gang as they swing through their madcap jungle adventures and thwart the ferocious tigress, Shere Khan. Chock full of toe-tappin' jungle rhythm, the jubilant score features such Disney classics as "The Bare Necessities," "That's What Friends Are For," and "I Wanna Be Like You."

Single tickets for Disney's The Jungle Book range from $16 - $22. The Theatre for Young Audience production will be performed at the Skip Viragh Center for the Arts at Chaminade and runs Wednesday through Sunday at 11:00 AM for two weeks.
