Children's 'Dolphin Up a Tree' Hits Off-Bway DR2 Sept.29

This fall, Daryl Roth is pleased to present the Off-Broadway premiere of the acclaimed children's musical A Dolphin Up a Tree, based on the award-winning book by Kimberly Foster. Directed by Paul Urcioli (Atlantic Theater's A Walk in the Public Area), the musical begins performances at Off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre (103 E. 15th St.) on Saturday, September 29, 2007.

"It's a magic day for Tina Talkington and her animals! Tina has cast a magic spell to make her stuffed animals talk! But when the spell makes Owl, Fox and Beaver spring to life, it also turns her little brother into a giant baby. And worse, Tina herself has turned into a Dolphin, stuck in a tree," state press materials. "How will the animals learn to work together and get Dolphin out of the tree? In this hilarious and interactive combination of comedy, songs, slapstick and drama, all of the animals must learn how to co-operate and save Dolphin, with some much-needed help from the kids in the audience!"

The Off-Broadway cast of A Dolphin Up a Tree features Stephanie Acevedo as Tina/Dolphin, Zack Friedman as Owl, Evan Greene as Beaver and Dan Ajl Kitrosser as Fox.

The show features songs by John Fleming and Kimberly Foster (Artistic Director of Magic Bridge Theatre Company).
