Harbor Springs presents ‘The Jungle Book KIDS’ Nov. 10-12

HARBOR SPRINGS — Harbor Springs students in grades 1-4 will present three performances of “The Jungle Book KIDS.”

Performances are set for 7 p.m. on Nov. 10 and 11, and at 3 p.m. on Nov. 12.

The elementary cast includes 50 students, with many of the students performing in their first musical. The show is directed by Meredith Assande, with co-director and choreographer Hannah Bianchi, and music director Cynda Coleman.

“The energy and enthusiasm of the cast is contagious. Prepare to be transported to the jungle when you enter the theater,” said Assande. “The set was built by our amazing cast, parents, crew and directors. This is the first production of an elementary musical since 2019 and has truly become a community project. We have many high school students volunteering their time and energy and local businesses supporting and donating their services. It has been such a fun experience.”
