An absolutely heartwarming story set in the whimsical wonderland of the north pole. As an adult audience member, watching the littles roar with laughter in the front row elevated the experience even further. Pedro allows audience members, both young and old, to witness the power of self confidence and the new heights ;) it brings Pedro to. Quick witted and thoughtfully written, Philip Diamond has struck gold with this play.

I really liked Pedro the Penguin. Although it's a very low-budget show that requires a bit of imagination, I thought it was funny, fast-paced, and inspiring. The storytelling was clear, and it was an enjoyable play from start to finish.

Great for families, and all ages. Sweet and wholesome story. Tim Walker (Rock Collins) is standout, and impressive (what a cartwheel!). Take your little ones and laugh together!

Really glad I started my Fringe with this show. The play was funny, the costumes were amazing and overall had a great message: believe in yourself! If there’s another run in the future, I will definitely bring my niece to see this! Also love the Celine Dion reference.

A Must-See Uplifting Adventure for the Whole Family!

This show is pure magic for kids and adults. It tells such an inspiring story about a little penguin who dreams of flying, and no matter how many times she’s told “penguins don’t fly,” she never gives up.

Her dedication, heart, and hard work shine through every scene, and watching her finally soar and earn her place in Santa’s reindeer pack had me smiling from ear to ear.

The writing is fantastic and the acting is top-notch — you really feel her journey. If you want a feel-good story about believing in yourself and chasing big dreams, this is it. Highly recommend!
