ADA, Okla. – East Central University (ECU) presents the production “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!” in the Ataloa Theatre, located inside the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center (HBFFAC), Friday, Feb. 6 at 5:30 p.m.

Based on the No. 1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor Award-winning “Pigeon” picture book series by Mo Willems, the musical features a script written by Willems and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, composer of “Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!” The production is presented by TheaterWorksUSA.

Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production — but he’s determined to do it anyway. The story follows the Pigeon, who never seems to get to do anything, as he searches for his place in the world. When the Bus Driver faces a crisis that threatens to make her passengers late, the Pigeon sees his chance to finally prove himself.

Featuring an energetic mix of songs, humor and plenty of feathers, “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! The Musical!” delivers a lively and engaging experience for young audiences.

The approximate runtime is 60 minutes.

General admission tickets are $5 and may be purchased online at ecok.edu/boxoffice or at the door on the evening of the performance.
