Eisemann Center Presents' Methodist Richardson Family Theatre Series concludes the 2016-2017 Season with Elephant and Piggie's We Are in a Play! Sunday, April 30, 2017 at 2:30 pm in the Hill Performance Hall at the Eisemann Center. Join us for this spectacular show of singing, dancing, and silliness presented by The Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour. Elephant and Piggie's We Are in a Play! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International, New York, NY and The Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour is represented by Shaw Entertainment Group, LLC.

Elephant and Piggie's We Are in a Play! is based on the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems's with script and lyrics by Mo Willems and direction by Jerry Whiddon. The music is by Deborah Wicks La Puma with choreography by Jessica Hartman.

Elephant Gerald and Piggie sing and dance their way through plenty of pachydermal peril and swiney suspense-facing fundamental questions like: What do you wear to a fancy pool costume party? Should you share your ice cream? And how can two friends play with one toy? Joined by nutty back-up singers The Squirrelles, our duo even gets the audience involved in the action. You'll be doing the "Flippy Floppy Floory" dance all night long!
