Synopsis

Delightful Doctor Dolittle, because of his special love for animals, becomes an animal doctor. The animals who love him are thrilled, and they teach the good doctor how to talk to animals. This extraordinary ability leads to the most exciting adventures. Each role is a sure success. Relying more on the imagination of the audience than on scenery, you make it possible for them to join the enchanting world that results from the unique communication between the many colorful "animals" and their wonderful friend.

Customer Reviews

A delightful collection of his tales carefully collected into an enchanting script.

Patch Clark, East Carolina University School of Theatre and Dance, Greenville, N.C.

Provided many small parts to give opportunities for children new to the stage. Very easy scenes with minimal scenery required.

Linda Carpenter, Wisconsin Rapids Public School, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.

This was an appealing play for children in a wide age span. It was easily adaptable to provide for individual needs.

John Scheuering, Discovery Pond, Barn Players, Miles City, Mont.

This was a crowd-pleasing show with great flexibility in casting. It was nice to bring a classic back to young audiences.

Dana McAfee, Warsaw Community High School, Warsaw, Ind.

Doctor Dolittle went over very well with our audiences. We cast adults in human roles, youth (ages 5-17) in all animal and human-child roles. We had sold-out crowds, and the kids involved had a great time.

Cassie Williams, Master Arts Theatre, Grand Rapids, Mich.
