(Enter early and often through midnight November 3, 2019) Guest Review by lori morrison Marty, the Zebra's, 10th Birthday wish is to get out of the zoo and visit nature. Following the team of penguins with a dream to get back to Antarctica, he does just that. Worried, his friends (Alex, Gloria, Melman and Mason) go searching for him. There is much adventure as they travel out of the zoo, get caught in subways of New York and wake up on a boat to Madagascar which gets overtaken by the Penguins. Once in Madagascar, they meet many new and interesting characters, some friendly and in need of help and some who's natural instincts are to harm them. All characters realize just how different the wild is from the zoo and must decide if this is really what they want. Marty, gets his 10th Birthday wish come true but is it all he thought it would be? Alex, the Lion is king of the zoo but does he have what it takes to be king of the jungle? Does he want to be? What will that do to his friendship with Marty and the others? With catchy songs and fun set changes throughout, this play has something for everyone. It will be most enjoyable for the 10 and under crowd but song and dance numbers like "I like to move it, move it", will have everyone up and dancing. Lori Morrison is an unschooling Chicago mom who lives in LaGrange with her three kids, and a rescue dog. She is a 2nd degree black belt in TKD and a burlesque dancer, who teaches self defense and works for Edge Theatre, NFP. It’s time to escape the zoo and head to the stage!
