Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!”
February 21 – March 24, Indiana Repertory Theatre 

For the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s fifth year of its Exploring Stages program, the Theatre will produce Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” by award-winning children’s illustrator and author Mo Willems. 

This first-ever musical in this youth-serving series will run from February 21 – March 24 in the Cabaret for children ages 3 – 8 years old and their families.

“Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!” is a daytime production during the weekdays and weekends, which helps fulfill IRT’s mission of providing a quality theatre experience for a variety of ages and backgrounds.  

Based on the more than 20 books by Mo Willems about Elephant Gerald and Piggie, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” is a rollicking celebration of friendship and fun as the dynamic duo discovers what it means to be best friends.

Through a partnership with the United Way, the IRT sends teaching artists out into the community to lead storytimes, activities and discussions at various program centers around the city. In turn, United Way sponsors preschoolers to give them the opportunity to attend the show and receive an Elephant & Piggie book.

APPROXIMATE RUN TIME: 75 minutes, including pre- and post-show activities
TICKETS: Available online at irtlive.com or by calling the Ticket Office at 317.635.5252. Tickets start at $8.
