The Barter Players will present the Barter original musical “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”, a holiday family live theatrical production, on the Dogwood’s Main Stage!

As the story unfolds, it’s Christmas time at the Ypsilanti 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?

This is a heartwarming musical adventure for the whole family!

With over 25 years of touring experience, The Barter Players perform world-class theatre for young audiences all around the United States. They offer engaging shows that appeal to both kids and adults
