Imago Theatre (17 SE 8th Ave.) is bringing back its globe-trotting production ZooZoo to Portland this holiday season. Bugeyes, hippos with insomnia, arrogant anteaters, introverted frogs, paradoxical polar bears, acrobatic worms, self-touting accordions and tricky penguins fill the stage with wonder, awe and humor Friday, December 8-Monday, January 1. ZooZoo has toured internationally since 2009, following on the heels of Imago’s signature work FROGZ.
Friday shows at 7 pm and matinee (2 and 3 pm)/early evening (5 pm) shows Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday-Thursday and Monday, January 1 (which includes a sneak preview of Imago’s next family show, Roo!). A full listing of dates and times available at imagotheatre.com. Tickets available online, by calling 503.231.9581 and at the door. Recommended for ages four and up. Be sure to catch this year’s performance before the show’s critters are packed off to storage until next year.
