A Flood of Creatures A musical performance to support PAWS

Love of animals is global, and so are the threats to the health and well-being of them. From zoo animals to the family pets that get left behind in conflict zones or natural disasters, so many people care for the least among us. Join us for this unique opportunity to support PAWS.

This delightful musical is written and produced by Edith Barnard, Peoria Music Lady. She has directed it around the world, and now brings it to Peoria to support our own animal shelter. Doors open 30 minutes before the start of each show to start the magic.

Eunice, a quirky old lady who doesn't like animals, finds her house invaded by a flood of eccentric creatures. These colorful critters include a goose who can't swim, a rooster who can't crow but sure can juggle, a cow that tells chicken jokes, a dog that wants to be a cat, a posh pig, and more! The chaos that ensues is hilarious, full of catchy tunes that manage to be uplifting without being saccharine and a wealth of puns, alliterations and witty aphorisms. As her house is set adrift amid rising waters, Eunice and the beasts have to learn to get along and overcome their personal difficulties as well. A shocking ending surprises all -especially Eunice!!
