    This is delightful! There’s a lot to be learned in the course of this short, fable-like play and it goes down easily and with great good humor. Ziggy the alligator spends his long life uniting people all over the world and his presence lets them express both their hopes and fears. The large cast makes Global Alligator an excellent choice if you have many actors, adult or teenage, available and eager to take part. And there are really no small parts—almost every role offers an opportunity for creative interpretation and fun. Press “Inquire About Rights” now!
