This Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Veronica!
Synchronicity Theatre and Gateway Performance Productions bring a local legend to life with The One and Only Ivan, an adaptation with movement and puppetry of Katherine Applegate’s Newbery Award-winning novel based on the true story of Ivan the Gorilla, who found a home at Zoo Atlanta from 1994 to 2012.
For 27 years, Ivan the Gorilla has lived in a cage at the Big Top Mall, content to paint pictures and people-watch. Then Ivan meets Ruby, a captured baby elephant who’s been separated from her family. Determined to protect his new friend, Ivan uses his creativity to find a new home and become the mighty silverback he was always meant to be.
The production design looks like a European circus-style mall. The animals come alive through a combination of modern movement, headpieces, masks, costumes, and puppetry. The play is told from Ivan's point of view, and the audience gets a glance at a gorilla's imagination through shadow puppetry work.
The One and Only Ivan is directed by Julie Skrzypek, and will feature movement and choreography by Sandra Hughes. Scenic, Prop and Puppet Design are by Michael Hickey. The cast includes Atlanta-based actors Renita James as Julia, Chris Hecke as Ivan, Benjamin Sims as George, Jeffrey Sneed as Mack/Bob, and Precious West as Stella. The cast members will also assume multiple roles based on beloved characters from the book.
