The performance will take place on April 15 at the Mahaffey Theater for Tampa Bay Area Students
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Floridant -- Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts - benefitting the Mahaffey Theater will present TheaterWorksUSA's, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! based on the popular book series by Mo Willems. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! will be presented on April 15th at Mahaffey Theater as part of their Class Acts Youth Education Program.
Whatever you do, don't let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning "Pigeon" picture books, and featuring music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie's We Are in a Play!), TheaterWorksUSA's Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party!
It's not easy being the Pigeon-you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something. Featuring an innovative mix of songs, and feathers, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical! is sure to get everyone's wings flapping. The production runs for approximately 60 minutes and is recommended for ages 4-7.
