It’s Christmas time in Yipsilanti, and everyone 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? This heartwarming musical adventure for the whole family is written by Catherine Bush, a playwright with local roots in Danville.
