Stubby the Elephant is coming to the Victoria Recreation Center on Monday, July 19, as part of a visit by the Climb Theater. The performance will be at 10 a.m.

Stubby the Elephant is adapted from “The Elephant’s Child” by Rudyard Kipling. Stubby is a little elephant with a little trunk and a lot of curiosity. He is not afraid to ask anyone his questions. As he journeys through the jungle, Stubby questions many different animals played by the audience, but the answer he gets from the Crocodile changes the “profile” of elephants forever. The performance is geared for 3-8 year olds. This 30-minute mini-play is accompanied by 20 minutes of activities that introduce the books that have inspired these delightful vignettes.

The event is part of celebrating the grand opening of the Victoria Express Library and the 2010 Carver County Library Summer Reading Program. The Victoria Recreation Center is located at 8475 Kochia Lane.
