celebrating family in all its colours
Everyone loves Peaches and Izzy and their daily performances at the Zoo! In fact, these two male penguins are the Zoo’s main attraction. Life’s peachy for the dynamic duo until other penguin couples start laying eggs and having chicks. Peaches and Izzy want to start a family too! With help from the Zoo Keeper, their dreams of parenting come to life. Join these two papas at their penguin chick’s first birthday at a party like no other. The Papa Penguin Play is a musical about celebrating family in all its colours and finding the performer in all of us.
