The children\u2019s show I\u2019ve been writing for the past year and a half had its opening in Toronto, Canada this December. Suzanne Miller (the playwright) and I traveled there to see it, and it was thrilling to watch ELMER: The Patchwork Elephant Show come to life onstage with big beautiful puppets and a great cast. We also received the great news that they extended the 5-week run by another 4 weeks, and a cast album is in the works. Stay tuned for more information on this and on which city will receive ELMER next!<\/p>\n
All the elephants of the jungle are gray except Elmer, who is a patchwork of brilliant colors. His fun-loving and cheerful personality keeps everyone in a playful mood, until the day he gets tired of being different and tries to blend in with the herd. From the books by David McKee, “Elmer” is a celebration of individuality and the power of laughter. Adapted for the stage by Suzanne Maynard Miller, songs by Allison Leyton-Brown.<\/p>\n
Opening December 2017 under the auspices of Joseph Patrick Presents<\/strong> and Rockefeller Productions<\/strong> — the award-winning producer behind the critically acclaimed production of “The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
