Live on stage: The Jungle Book at Liberty Hall | Arts & Culture

From the City of Tyler:

The Magik Theater of San Antonio will perform the musical adaptation of “The Jungle Book” on Friday, March 1 at 7 p.m. at the City of Tyler’s Liberty Hall.

Adapted faithfully from Rudyard Kipling’s source stories, “The Jungle Book” begins with the discovery of a human child by a wolf pack in the Indian jungle. Named Mowgli, the boy is raised by wolf parents and educated in jungle law by Bagheera, a black panther, and Baloo, a bear. Complicating their efforts are a fun-loving tribe of monkeys, a python named Kaa,  Shere Khan the tiger, and his jackal accomplice, Tabaqui. In the end, Mowgli must decide whether to stay in the jungle or take his place in the world of men.

“The Jungle Book” is recommended for children of all ages. Tickets can be purchased online at www.libertytyler.com, $12 for adults or $10 for children, or at the door for $15 cash only.

The Magik Theatre’s mission is to nurture a love and understanding of theatre and literature by providing extraordinary, affordable, professional theatre and educational experiences. Since its founding in 1994, The Magik Theatre has brought its innovative, literature-based productions to more than 1.3 million people, including a half a million children.
