Based on Mo Willems’ beloved children’s book, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is a lively, laugh-filled adventure for audiences of all ages. When the Bus Driver takes a break, the persistent and ever-hopeful Pigeon dreams of finally getting the chance to take the wheel. With energetic performances, colorful characters, and plenty of audience interaction, this playful production brings Willems’ iconic story to life onstage. Families are invited to join the fun as the Pigeon tries every trick imaginable to convince everyone to hand over the keys.
