The Jungle Book

SUMMER 2025 at BARTER’S SMITH THEATRE

When Raksha the She-Wolf discovers a human baby alone in the jungle, she adopts Mowgli the “man cub” as her own. As Mowgli grows, he is taught the law of the jungle by his mentors Baloo the Bear, Bagheera the Black Panther, and Kaa the Snake. But will their wisdom keep him safe from the clutches of Shere-Khan, the man-eating tiger? This new adaptation is a thrilling adventure for the whole family!

Adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s novel by Catherine Bush
