A Play by our TK-2nd Grade School of Theatre Students​
In this stage adaptation of the beloved children’s book Goodnight Gorilla, our youngest performers will take the audience on a playful adventure through the zoo, exploring what happens before the great escape! The mischievous gorilla, determined to let the animals out, is joined by a variety of zoo creatures as they sneak around while the keeper says goodnight to each one. With plenty of imagination, creative movement, and fun moments, students will help bring this whimsical tale to life. As they explore the story's events leading up to the animals' clever escape, young actors will develop key theatre skills such as focus, teamwork, and character expression. This production provides a perfect foundation in theatre, fostering creativity in a fun, supportive environment for our youngest performers.​
