On Tour: The Jungle Book

Okay, it's a little cheeky to make this my travel post, but I'm going to anyway. :)

Dave has co-produced a national tour of The Jungle Book with Magik. He wrote the script and co-wrote song lyrics, designed the set and directed its build, contracted with a booking agent, and directed the show. It previews for Magik's newly-renewed season passholders this coming Sunday, then opens in Houston next week, making a BIG loop around the U.S. over the next 8 weeks.

It's a great show -- very true to the Kipling stories. If it's coming near you, I recommend it highly. (Yes, I'm biased!)
