Mr. Popper's Penguins
by Magik Theatre
Nov. 20 - Dec. 24, 2018
Mr. Popper’s Penguins chronicles the journey of Mr. Popper and his loving wife when money becomes tight and times get tough in the town of Stillwater. With no houses to paint till next spring, Mr. Popper is stuck at home daydreaming of adventures in far-off lands, while Mrs. Popper must scrimp and save just to put beans on the table. But with the unexpected arrival of a spirited penguin named Captain Cook, new horizons open for them. As a quiet partnership expands into a boisterous flock, the Poppers learn that there’s no problem that can’t be solved with steady determination, lots of love — and a dash of unconventionality.
A Texas Premiere! Ideal for ages 5-10
This delightful, action packed musical adaptation of Richard and Florence Atwater’s popular book (also made into a Hollywood film) will get San Antonio in the mood for chilly Christmas weather.
