Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!"

Gerald is a careful, worried elephant. Piggie is a joyful, high-energy pig. Together, they’re “bestus” friends—and today, they’re in a play! Based on Mo Willems’ award-winning, best-selling children’s books, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” brings these beloved characters to life in a vaudevillian musical adventure bursting with laughter, dancing squirrels, and the unforgettable “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance. As Gerald and Piggie navigate party invitations, surprises, and the ups and downs of friendship, young audiences are invited to sing along, giggle, and cheer for two of the most charming characters in children’s literature.

With music by Deborah Wicks La Puma and a script by Mo Willems himself, this Theatre for Young Audiences production is perfect for kids ages 3–7—and anyone who’s ever had a best friend. Featuring lively songs, playful storytelling, and a heartwarming message, it’s a joyful introduction to the magic of live theatre.
