Elephant and Piggie in a Play!

the beloved kids book characters come to life on stage

The Eau Claire Children’s Theatre is unleashing all the fun of Elephant & Piggie’s adventures in a musical, opening March 11 at The Oxford.  Inspired by the beloved books of Mo Willems, Elephant & Piggies’s We Are In A Play is full of lively songs and colorful costumes that will hold the attention of even the youngest theatergoers. Piggie, the perky ball of sunshine and smiles, is “bestus” friends with Gerald, a formally attired and slightly melancholy elephant you can’t help but adore. When the two of them get together, it’s all about playing, learning, and reminding kids just how important being a good friend is. And if your kids aren’t content with just watching, they can “Party with Piggie” on either Saturday March 12 or March 19 at 10am. For just $5 per person, kids can enjoy games, crafts, and treats with the characters before watching the big show.
