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

 

A2CT has been given the opportunity to be one of the first Junior productions of this show, based on Mo Willems’ beloved books. The musical was originally written for adult actors, but as it is adapted for young actors, the initial performances aid in that transition. “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this pilot production of Elephant & Piggie's We Are in a Play JR. to Ann Arbor, where I know these characters have an adoring fan base!” says director Andrea Klooster, “It's so much fun to work with this talented group of kids, sharing stories from many of our favorite Elephant & Piggie books, set to music by my longtime friend Deborah Wicks LaPuma.”

 

Music direction for this production is by Elisa Fixler. The talented young cast includes Avery Bennett as Piggie and Ryan Klooster as Gerald (Elephant), along with Karim Adam, Soleil Ascani, J Kincaid Beal, Sarah Brown, Kate Ganas, Lottie Hadley, Tessa Hanrath, Sara Hirabayashi, Alyssa Klooster, Jeremy Klooster, Izzy Kraft, Jessica Lou, Ainsley Maddock, Annika Maddock, Jack Miller, Elsa Pasquariello, Avik Patel, Alaina Pellar-Kosbar, Felicity Rosa-Davies, Tess Rosa-Davies, Clara Sperrle, Theresa Su, Alex Trisdale, Ian Weintraub, Ellie Westhoff, Halle Woodard, Annie Ziegler, and Mary Ziegler.
