Atlantic for Kids' production of
Elephant and Piggie's "We Are In A Play"
December 13, 2025 - February 8, 2026

It took me a while to gather my thoughts but all I can really say is that I am so thankful to have been a part of this production. What really made it special was all of the people I got to work with. I will never forget all of the fun, laughter, Mario kart, jazz walks, early morning put-ins, yodels, Portuguese Bread, and so much more.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a worthwhile experience!

"Well, Piggie, it looks like this is... The End."
