Growing Stage presents Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!"

Saturday, May 18, 2024 @ 4:00pm



The Historic Palace Theatre
7 Ledgewood Avenue, Netcong, NJ 07857

Book and Lyrics by Mo Willems; Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma

Get ready for a musical experience, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning, best-selling children’s books, that will leave audiences doing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance all night long! In Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!”, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure that is perfect for the entire family.

An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, “bestus” (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means “very best”) friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual. That’s because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.

Age Recommendation: Entire Family  |  Estimated running time: 60 Minutes
