About Unified Theatre Presents... The Jungle Book

Come hear the incredible tale of Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves.  With the help of his friends — the bear Baloo, the panther Bagheera and the python Kaa — Mowgli learns the ways of the jungle.  Some of the jungle boy’s adventures are gripping, like the time he encounters the hooded cobra who guards the treasure vault in the Deserted City.  Others, like the coconut-tossing monkeys who take him prisoner, are hysterical.  But the jungle is also dangerous, for it is the home of Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger who has vowed to destroy Mowgli.  With his fawning jackal follower, Shere Khan plots to take control of the jungle.  Mowgli must use all his strength and courage to stop Shere Khan before it is too late.  This faithful adaptation is extremely simple to produce and rehearse.  It will enchant audiences and have everyone cheering when Mowgli declares, ’I am Mowgli, Keeper of the Law and Guardian of the Jungle!’

The Mission of the LHS Theatre Company is To...

Foster a supportive and passionate community of artists across all mediums, produce high-quality and professional productions that unite audience, cast, and crew in one breath, and leave a powerful legacy behind.  But above all, to do the work, and find the love.

The LHSTC Unified Program is designed to partner students with and without significant disabilities through the lens of theatre.  The mentor student model will be used so that students will collaborate throughout the semester to develop theatrical skills, social-emotional expression, and creative problem solving. All students can expect to build skills in improvisation and characterization, working as an ensemble, and more.  Mentor students can also expect to develop skills in leadership, product management, marketing, and direction.
