A  hilarious,  contemporary adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale of how elephants got their long noses. This story is from Kipling’s beloved “Just So Stories” collection. This story was inspired by his 4 year old daughter who used to ask him “ever so many questions”!  Delightfully explore  adult/child  relationships, boundary testing and optimism  with the elephant child on his quest to satisfy his insatiable curiosity!  Featuring large colorful hand crafted mouth puppets, marionettes, and soft sculpture scenery. This show is a great way to introduce children to Kipling’s mastery of language.
