Derby Dinner’s Children’s Musical Theatre Series presents DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS October 8th through November 12th. DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS is most suitable for ages 3 to 12, and included in the ticket price is Breakfast or Lunch featuring kid-friendly food. Located just minutes from downtown Louisville, Derby Dinner offers FREE parking.

It’s not easy being the Pigeon – you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something. Featuring an innovative mix of songs, and feathers, DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS – THE MUSICAL is sure to get everyone’s wings flappin’. This musical was written by Mo Willems, the creator of the #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning “Pigeon” picture books, with music by Deborah Wicks LaPuma. Hop on board for an unforgettable ride!
