It’s Christmas time at the Cincinnati Zoo, and everyone there eagerly anticipates the birth of Bella, the zoo’s first baby hippo. Seven-year-old Lois Jean, the zookeeper’s daughter, is especially excited—she’s counting on Bella to reunite her family in time for the holidays. Then the unexpected happens, and only one person can prevent tragedy. Will Santa arrive in time to save Bella—and Christmas? A heartwarming musical adventure for the whole family.

Payment is non-refundable. Once an invoice is paid, a refund will not be issued due to student absences, transfers, or dislike of a performance.

If that is not possible, Dixie PAC will offer to apply the funds to another upcoming school time production.
