Mo Willems’ Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play

We Are in a Play is based on the Elephant & Piggie picture books by Mo Willems, #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honor award-winning author. Get ready for the play to end all plays – led by two best friends – with very different perspectives.

The ever-upbeat Piggie is thrilled to be on stage, while Elephant is a bit busy hoping nothing goes “terribly, horribly, best-friendship endingly wrong” during the duration of the performance. He’s getting there… Anything can happen in this goofy, heartfelt show that is sure to have audiences laughing hard.
