Community Players of Naperville is thrilled to present Drewe and Stiles’ musical Just So, inspired by the stories of Rudyard Kipling. This family-friendly musical follows a young Elephant Child (Allison Roach) on her way to save her family from the floods caused by the enormous Crab (Ken Cox). Along the way, the Leopard (Eddie Green) gets his spots, the Kangaroo (Stormie Kelley) gets her bounce, and the Rhino (Dave Hollander) gets baggy skin, as well as other animals finding their individuality—becoming Just So! The cast also includes Mary Elliott as the Eldest Magician and Sarah Hollander as the Kolokolo Bird. The show is directed by Amy Hollander, assisted by Debbie Craig, with musical direction by Kyle Markwell.
There will be five performances of Just So:
- Friday, April 20, 7:30 pm
- Saturday, April 21, 7:30 pm
- Sunday, April 22, 2:00 pm (matinee)
- Friday, April 27, 7:30 pm
