A Whooper's Tale

Book by Jenny Stafford
Music by Russel J. Coutinho
Lyrics by Lynn Sanders

A Whooper’s Tale was originally developed and presented through Theatre Building Chicago’s Young Audiences Program. A Whooper's Tale tells the incredible true story of George Archibald, the ornithologist whose innovative passion kept the whooping crane from going extinct in the early 1970s.  Tex, one of the last whooping cranes born in captivity, believes she's a human and refuses to lay an egg.  It's up to George and the other cranes to help her find her true identity and save her species.  This upbeat show is filled with fun and music while teaching about nature and taking care of the planet.
