Coming in May/June 2024

DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL!

The Gifford Family Theatre at Le Moyne College is excited to announce that our 2024 May/June show will be DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL!

From MO WILLEMS, the Caldecott Honor-winning (and Emmy-winning and New York Times bestselling!) author of such books as Knuffle Bunny and the wildly popular Elephant & Piggie books, comes a new musical, DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL!, based on his hilarious book of the same name.

DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! was adapted for the stage by the author and Mr. Warburton, with music by Deborah Wicks LaPuma. It was commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was first presented at the Kennedy Center during the 2019-20 season.

It's not easy being the Pigeon--you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird can do something. With its innovative mix of songs, silliness, and feathers, DON'T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS! THE MUSICAL! is sure to get everyone’s wings flapping.
