We’re Jammin’ this Spring!
FEB 8 - MARCH 2, 2025
Join us this winter in sunny Jamaica for a joyous musical about a boy named Ziggy (the name of Bob Marley’s son) who fears tropical storms, the ocean, spiders, and especially the sneaky “duppy” spirits of Caribbean folklore. But a mischievous companion and three sprightly feathered friends join Ziggy for a mountain-traversing adventure that will make clear that with a little bravery, “every little thing is gonna be alright!”
Inspired by the delightful children's book Every Little Thing by Marley’s daughter Cedella Marley, Three Little Birds is immersed in the folkloric world of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and celebrates Bob Marley's extraordinary catalogue of songs, including “Jamming," "Stir It Up,” "One Love," and, of course, "Three Little Birds!"
"It's an honor to see my father's music connect with each new generation. My own children loved singing ‘Three Little Birds’ when they were little. It inspired me to write the book. It's positive, uplifting vibe is something the world needs more of, especially these days!” — Cedella Marley
Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds runs 60 mins. Best for everybody 4+.
