The Papa Penguin Play

Inspired by the true story of two male penguins who are gifted an egg at New York’s Central Park Zoo, the playful and imaginative work follows a pair of penguin fathers and their zoo keeper friend as they navigate the delightful chaos of throwing a first birthday party. The colourful play features puppetry, drag performance, and show-stopping musical numbers.
