Get ready for a heart-warming, toe-tapping theatrical event with our friends at the Allen County Public Library! Based on the beloved children’s book, this delightful play follows the story of Mr. Popper, a humble house painter whose life takes a wild turn when he unexpectedly receives a package containing a live penguin. When one penguin grows into a whole flock, chaos- and laughter- ensue as the Popper family learns to care for their feathered friends. Join us for a heartwarming tale of dreams, family, and the unexpected joys that can waddle into our lives!
