Going shopping…baking cakes…sitting in trees…JUMPING ON BEDS!!! In this zany play, all in cumulative verse, five silly simian siblings insist on doing things their own way and-heedless of admonitions – much more monkey mayhem ensues. And maybe a call from a doctor.

"...This good-humored, rough-and-tumble show, with plenty of antics on the monkey bars and lots of monkey-style “hoo-hoo-hoo” vocalizations, is a fine way to spend an hour with little ones, and an hour is just enough. Each chapter is a cautionary tale, but nothing in the show, except that colorful croc, is even slightly scary."

"...Five Little Monkeys is a masterpiece of creativity, and I personally applaud the work that went into bringing the books to life in such a modern, multifaceted way. With such talented actors, colorful costumes, and fun set, I hope you get a chance to go to the Adventure Theatre MTC to see the play, no matter who you are!"

Helen Hayes nominee Valerie Leonard has likely not had to jump and pounce and cajole and herd a troupe of monkeys for a role before, but as Mama, she ratchets up the loving energy and keeps up with all five in this lively and adorable production. Leonard definitely has her hands full as the five frisky sibling monkeys get into all kinds of monkey-shines and mischief, first as they try to bake her a surprise Birthday cake, then go shopping for clothes, and other mundane excursions.
