Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, IL is a special one-hour presentation for kids (and parents) of all ages.
This play was a complete blast. The show was full of song & dance, jokes, physical comedy, and touchingly emotional moments. I even got teary eyed at one point. A big “Thanks!” goes out to Heron Agency for inviting us!
Just take a look at the brilliantly’s talented cast in the gallery below:

Get ready for a musical experience, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems’ beloved, award-winning, best-selling children’s books, that will leave audiences doing the “Flippy Floppy Floory” dance all night long! In Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!”, Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure that is perfect for young audiences.
An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are best, best, “bestus” (a word Gerald and Piggie made up that means “very best”) friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She’s even happier and more excited than usual. That’s because she and Gerald are invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible.
Filled with beloved characters and lively songs, Elephant & Piggie’s “We Are in a Play!” is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre.
If you do attend know that there is usually a question and answer time for a few minutes after the show. This gives the kids in the audience a way to connect with those on stage and ask them about their experiences as performers. There was also a chance after the morning show we attended to get in line (near the Elephant & Piggie poster) for a quick photo with Piggy. We lined up downstairs (in the wrong spot) an missed out. I’m telling you this so you don’t!
Shows are scheduled through August 14, 2023. Get your tickets at MarriottTheatre.com.
