School Show – Elephant + Piggie’s “we Are In A Play!”

Waterville City Hall

Join Theatre Cedar Rapids for an unforgettable outdoor youth theatre experience with "Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," running from July 5th to July 21st, 2024. This special TCR Out of Doors presentation will take place at the picturesque Peggy Boyle Whitworth Amphitheatre at Brucemore, located at 2160 Linden Dr SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

Adapted from the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning Pigeon picture books by Mo Willems, this musical brings to life the story of a pigeon who dreams of driving the bus. With a script by Mo Willems and Mr. Warburton, lyrics by Mo Willems, and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, this production promises to be even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party. It's a tale of ambition, responsibility, and the adventures that unfold when the bus driver faces a crisis, possibly giving the pigeon a chance to shine.

Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

Brucemore

When Gerald and Piggie get together, anything is possible. They might get invited to a fancy pool costume party, learn a crazy new dance, or decide to spend the day skipping and playing ping-pong in silly hats. These two pals and their devotion to each other through ups and downs will remind you of how good it feels to put friends first.
