Wild Rumpus at the Jungle

This is your last chance, actually, to catch a highly popular series at the Jungle pairing the theater’s talented players and artists with great children’s stories. Well, your last chance for now. Linden Hills’ cornerstone Wild Rumpus has established itself as the Ruminator of children’s books, so it’s appropriate that they’re co-sponsoring and curating this “performance” of books such as Garrison Keillor’s Cat, You Better Come Home and The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, by Neil Gaiman. It’s a series, held on Saturday afternoons, because the program is somewhat loosey-goosey. Different performers may pop in to introduce or read the stories, and the schedule is kid-friendly. A new group of books will be selected for the next run, sometime later in the summer. But if you want to catch the delightful Wendy Lehr as the primary reader, this is your date, and it’s a great way to introduce your kids to the sometimes scary interior of the playhouse.
