Doctor Dolittle – Orna Porat Theater for Children and Youth

So as not to spoil the viewing experience for your children, children and toddlers under the recommended viewing age will not be allowed into the hall. Playwright: Inbal Arbel, Uri Omanuti Direction: Uri Omanuti "Doctor Dolittle" is a small, virtuosic show, funny and moving, combining songs and puppets, inviting us to follow our hearts, to truly listen rather than just talk, to act with kindness, and to lend a helping hand to others. The clinic of Doctor Dolittle — the beloved doctor who loves animals — gradually fills up with more and more animals in need of treatment and shelter. His human patients, unhappy with the situation, stop coming and demand that he decide: is this a clinic or a zoo? When he finds some free time, Dolittle decides to learn the language of animals with the help of Polynesia, the talking parrot. One day, Chee-Chee, a monkey who arrived by mistake from Africa on a cargo ship, comes to the clinic and tells him about a severe plague that has struck the jungle animals. Dolittle, Polynesia, and Chee-Chee set out together on an adventure to the distant continent of Africa. There, Dolittle manages to save the wild animals from the spreading plague, helps the arrogant king of the animals become a good and considerate king, and even persuades a rare creature that has never been seen before to open up and make new friends. Word of Doctor Dolittle's kindness and skill spreads quickly, and a long line of people — accompanied by their animals — arrives at his clinic to meet the wondrous doctor who understands the language of animals. In the end, Dr. Dolittle decides to return home to Puddleby and devote his life to the medicine of animals.
