To be Determined Theatre, Ontario – Jillian Jiggs

To some, Miss Jiggs might come across as a young lady who doesn’t want to clean her room. In fact that is not the case at all. She really, really does wants to clean her room, and has every intention of doing so. That was until something caught her eye. A broom, a scrap piece of paper, buttons, rubber gloves, card board boxes, duvets. All of these things may seem like just household objects to some, but not to Jillian. No, these are wigs worn by famous people, or sails on a pirate ship, noses on pigs, chickens on the loose or robots just waiting to come alive.
We have combined some of Phoebe Gilman’s most famous stories: Jillian Jiggs, Jillian Jiggs & the Great Big Snow, Jillian Jiggs to the Rescue & The Wonderful Pigs of Jillian Jiggs to create an energetic & imaginative adventure. This incredibly fun journey is engaging for all audiences as it combines live music, dancing, comedy, audience interaction and surprises around every corner!
