Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus @ Jacksons Lane
Feb 15 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm

A lively show full of fun, feathers, laughter and excitement and features original music and lots of audience participation!

The friendly bus driver leaves us with one simple instruction: “Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus!” However, the Pigeon is very clever and whines, bribes, pleads and even sings a song to get his own way… BUT WILL YOU LET HIM DRIVE?

Recommended for ages 3 and above.
