Public invited to Savage School for rainforest show with animals

On Wednesday, April 6, Savage Elementary in Belleville will be transformed into a tropical rainforest and the public is invited to see it happen.
This comedy animal show will be at Savage Elementary School for one show at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 per person and will be available at the door.
The show, “Live on Stage, The Rainforest,” will make guests feel like they are right in the middle of the tropical rainforest with the beautiful sounds and sights of the Amazon region. They will also see exotic birds, kinkajous, monkeys and snakes.
It all started as a dream for founder and current director Mike Kohlrieser. In the 1980s Mike and his wife Marcia became increasingly aware of problems in the tropical rainforests. Using his already developed skills as an animal trainer and stage entertainer, Mike wanted to educate young and old alike about these animals facing possible extinction.
In 1992 the non-profit organization Understanding Wildlife, Inc. was created. The goal is simple — educate and inspire individuals to get involved and make this a better world for us all (including the animals) to live in.
