Family Fun Fest - The Vanishing Elephant

Family Fun Fest - The Vanishing Elephant

Opu, a young boy in Bengal, dreams of one day becoming an elephant trainer. When he befriends Janu, an Asian Elephant, their friendship is the first step on an adventure so huge, it spans decades and continents. On their separate paths, they face many challenges—fearsome encounters, stormy seas, and strange new worlds.

Years in the future, Opu, now an old man, hears that world-famous magician Harry Houdini will vanish an elephant live on stage in New York City. Could it really be Janu, Opu’s old friend, so far from home? He, too, must bravely make the long journey into the unknown to find out.

A moving story of friendship, belonging, and one incredible journey from Bengal to the bright lights of Broadway, presented by the beloved Cahoots theatre company of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Free children’s activities begin in the lobby at noon!
