Saturday was set painting day four our children's show, Elephant & Piggie’s We Are In a Play JR. It's exciting to see young people helping to create technical aspects of the show in addition to acting!

Performances are Wednesday, October 21 through Sunday, October 25. Visit newminowaplayers.ludus.com to be put on a wait list for tickets. We are generally able to seat everyone who comes.

Based on Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning, best-selling children’s books, this musical will leave audiences doing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance all night long! 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.
