Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

YPT LAUNCHES NEW SEASON WITH MO WILLEMS' "PIGEON" MUSICAL The upcoming 2024-2025 season is pivotal for the Young People’s Theatre of Chicago. Building on two years of outstanding reviews, sold-out performances, and extraordinary attendance at school matinees, YPT transitions this season from an in-house Greenhouse Theater Center project to a stand-alone, professional, non-profit children’s theatre. YPT’s 3-play season launches with the return of the Mo Willems’ musical that sold-out every single performance in YPT’s inaugural season. The New Year adds three little birds singing Bob Marley’s music and message. Finally, a gentle pig discovers true friendship and selflessness in a delightful adaptation of “the best American children’s book of the past 200 years!” (Children’s Literature Association). All YPT performances take place at the historic Greenhouse Theater Center (2257 N Lincoln Ave).
