VISTA – Rancho Buena Vista High School presents its Children’s Show “The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle.  Musical, book, music and lyrics by Elliot B. Baker.  Adapted from the classic book by Hugh Lofting.  This is the story of a very special doctor with a deep understanding and love of animals.  He finds that he is able to speak with them.  His comprehension carries him from one adventure to another.  Doctor John Dolittle, M.D. , Polynesia the parrot, Gub-Gub the pig, Jip the Dog , Dab-Dab the duck and Chee-Chee the monkey travel to Africa to save the monkeys from a terrible plague.  Once there they are captured and escape the Jolliginki and escape misguided pirates and discover wild and wonderful never-before-seen animals.  Dr. Dolittle finds that his love of learning coupled with his love of animals affords him a unique opportunity to speak on behalf of all the animals.  With the cooperation of all the animals of Africa, the doctor creates a solution that protects the animals while providing new and better employment opportunities for the pirates and Jolliginki.  Perseverance, patience and creativity win over ignorance every time.
