About the show: One of literature's most enduring classics is brought vividly to the stage in this exciting adventure of Mowgli, the Indian boy, raised by caring wolves, befriended by Bagheera, the Panther, and Baloo, the Bear, and threatened by Shere Kahn, the evil tiger.

Also present are an array of other jungle creatures who inhabit this action-filled play. Interspersed with the Mowgli tale is the equally intriguing story of a young Rudyard Kipling, who is sent from his home in Bombay to a British boarding school where he encounters his own "jungle," including people—both good and otherwise—who parallel many of the animal characters he created.

Filled with excitement and humor, the play highlights the struggle of good versus evil, the worth of friendship, and the importance of loyalty and other values required for surviving the "law of the jungle." While the very young audiences will delight in the portrayal of the animals and the fast paced action, older children will be fascinated by the character relations and the story itself, as well as the unique introduction to the author.

How To Reserve Seats

Before reserving your seat: Please read the COVID-19 guidelines for all audience members. This production is only available to the public if the audience agrees to adhere to these protocols.

The Jungle Book COVID-19 Guidelines

Note about the Pods/Slots: If you sign up for a 4-person pod, you only pick ONE SLOT. That is a slot to seat four people. Same for the 2-person pod (one slot would seat two people). Another example would be if you have five people coming, you would reserve one 4-person pod and one 2-person pod (and then there would be one open seat in the 2 person pod). Thanks for your understanding and patience!

Reservations for a 4-person or 2-person "pod" of chairs can be made by signing up at the link below.
