An exciting adventure awaits at ZACH Theatre! Do512 Family is thrilled to be a sponsor of ZACH’s production of Jungalbook that runs from through December 14, 2019. Our kiddos were captivated by this creative retelling of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale that features a young gal as the human cub.
In a jungle ruled by the wild, you’ll meet a young Mowgli raised by wolves and under the protection of her friends Bagheera and Baloo. In this tale of loyalty and betrayal, Mowgli must find the courage to face this challenge and choose her fate under consequences of jungle law.
“Our adaptation of Jungalbook includes a mix of beautiful costume designs and mask work with live puppetry, as well as shadow puppetry. Mowgli will be double cast by two of our female pre-professional actresses, Chloe Van De Graaf and Blakeney Mahlstedt. Audiences may recognize them most recently from Matilda The Musical along with other ZACH favorites, Mary Poppins and A Christmas Carol. Having a female actress play Mowgli gives the character a new perspective as both a powerful fearless female protagonist as well as somebody who has empathy for nature. Jungalbook is a play about how humans and nature live in harmony, both with each other and the world that surrounds us and we can’t wait to share that experience with audiences.” — Director, Nat Miller
