In the small town of Stillwater, Mr. and Mrs. Popper are pleasant, practical, predictable people. But when a package for the Poppers produces a penguin, chaos waddles into their lives! Soon, the Poppers open their home and hearts to not one, not two, but to a bunch of boisterous black and white birds! With catchy songs and penguin puppets aplenty, Mr. Popper’s Penguin’s, a brand new musical adaptation of Richard and Florence Atwater’s popular book, will have you chirping with cheer!

“Mr. Popper’s Penguins is a 55-minute musical romp. It’s funny, warm and unbelievably touching.” – Huffington Post
