Opening March 31, The Jungle Book will debut at Gamut Theatre for one weekend only! After the success of last year's production of Panchatantra Tales, Gamut's Young Acting Company is will partner again with Rasika School of Dance to present this classic story. This play is co-directed by Gamut's Executive Director, Melissa Nicholson, and Rasika's Founder and Artistic Director, Rachita Menon Nambiar. The show is performed by students ages 7-18, dancers and actors alike.
Deep in the jungles of India, an infant "man cub" is adopted by a pack of wolves and raised as their own. The wolves name the child Mowgli, who grows under the watchful eyes of Bagheera the panther and Baloo the sloth bear, who must train the cub in the Laws of the Jungle. But not even their strict guidance can protect Mowgli from riotous monkeys, the vicious man-eating tiger Shere Khan, and the most fearsome animal of all - man. This much-beloved classic by Rudyard Kipling shows us the importance of family, respect for nature, and what it means to be human.
Shows are March 31 - April 2, 2023 - Friday at 7:30PM, Saturday at 2:30PM & 7:30 PM, and Sunday at 2:30 PM. Admission prices are "pick your seat, then pick your price", at a recommended price of $38 or discounted prices of $26 or $14.
