The Jungle Book
Runs December 5 – December 17
Greg Banks’ play adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling stories has a great sense of adventure and playfulness. In this coming of age story, Mowgli, a child called a “man cub” by the creatures of the forest, is raised by wolves and by Baloo the sloth bear and Bagheera the black panther. They protect this human innocent as best they can from Shere Khan, the hungry tiger who wants to eat him. But when some monkeys trick Mowgli and imprison him, vultures carry the news to his would-be rescuers, including the hypnotizing python Kaa.
