Enjoy time with your family and friendly exotic animals when wildlife expert Peter Gros from the original “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” returns to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Sunday, October 27th for two shows -- at 1pm and 4pm. In his popular live shows, Gros shares his wildlife adventures through a mix of storytelling and entertaining video clips and bloopers.
As he introduces audiences of all ages to some of his exotic animal friends, he brings awareness to issues of conservation, travel and wildlife filming. Some of the many animals that have appeared with Peter Gros at past performances include a Eurasian eagle owl, an Australian kookaburra that sings with the audience, a 17-foot Burmese python named “Julius Squeezer” that the audience can help hold, a giant African crested porcupine, a lemur and much more!
