After last year’s successful run of The Garden Show, MAD will be continuing this new tradition with another children’s performance. The Rumpus in the Rainforest is the story of a frog in the rainforest who longs to see the sky, but with the thick canopy trees that is easier said than done. There are a lot of different creatures in the rainforest… but will any of them be able to help?
The show is recommended for those in elementary and middle school, but children of all ages are welcome! All children who come out to auditions are guaranteed a role. Auditions will be held in the NASA GSFC Building 3 Auditorium on Wednesday, June 24th at 6:00pm.
