Bay Area Children's Theatre Presents "Giraffes Can't Dance"

Bay Area Children's Theatre presents their latest production, Giraffes Can't Dance, based on the book by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees. This show is perfect for all ages and is a fantastic way to introduce kids to live theater. Giraffes Can't Dance runs from April 15 through June 4 at the BACT's theater at 2055 Center Street in Berkeley and from June 10, 11, 17, and 18 at the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco.

All the animals in the jungle know their own special dance, but Gerald the Giraffe can’t seem to move without a clumsy step. But with the help of a wise cricket, he finds his own song, and dances to the beat of his own drum! In this stage adaptation of the beloved children’s book, with puppets, African rhythm, and lots of dancing, Gerald learns that his differences are what make him special.

Performance runs minutes 50 minutes with no intermission. Recommended for all ages. Giraffes Can’t Dance runs from April 13 through June 4 in Berkeley and in San Francisco at Fort Mason Center on June 10, 11, 17, and 18. Tickets are $32–$35 and are available online here.
