About the Program
Your child will shine on stage at the Armory in this exciting production of Madagascar Jr. In this 60-minute production, your child will join-- Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime.  

Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. follows all of your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar. Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

The Council is fortunate for our returning staff, including our leads:

She annually works at the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center as a Production Manager. Her other full-time job is as Mommy to her fabulous son.
