Party Animals follows five furry friends as they navigate the biggest social hurdle of their young lives — throwing their first party! Meet a bunny with boundless energy, a sloth with social anxiety, a hedgehog wrestling with wrapping, and a skunk who's trying to keep everything cool and under control. Through song, dance, and original rock 'n' roll music by Boston local Phil Berman, these little stars discover that music can be an exuberant and healthy way to express yourself.
Party Animals balances silly antics with deeper truths, all conveyed through traditional hand puppetry performance. Legendary rock star Pete Townshend once said, "Rock 'n' roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them" — a truth for the ages, and for all ages.
