More Theater Monday - Animal Wisdom

We received complimentary tickets to Animal Wisdom for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.

What: Animal Wisdom

Where: The Pershing Square Theater Center

             480 W. 42nd St.

             New York, NY

Who: Recommended for Ages 13 and Up

When: Through June 14, 2026

Animal Wisdom is a very spiritual show. It doesn't really tell a linear story, but blends storytelling, requiem, and family mythology into a kind of shared ritual. It feels more like an event than a show, and at times feels like walking into a church service, which may be too much for some people.

The show and its music are by Heather Christian. The main character, H, is meant to be a stand-in for Christian and is played by Kenita R. Miller (alternate Emma Duncan appears in some performances as well). Miller pours her whole heart and soul into the role. The talented band members are also active participants in and an integral part of the show, more than just playing their instruments. 

The show contains loud noises, flashing lights, and long periods of darkness, which make it unsuitable for young children and may be triggering to some older children and adults as well. However, if you don't mind that or a show with strong religious overtones, and you are looking for a completely unique, undefinable theatrical experience, you may enjoy this show. 

And that's our view. For more about Animal Wisdom or to purchase tickets, visit signaturetheatre.org/show/animal-wisdom

Giveaway: Win a Copy of Shapes of Love in the Berry Good Giveaway Hop!

Welcome to the Berry Good Giveaway Hop

hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews

Even though some people would like to define love very narrowly, in reality, love takes many shapes and forms. Pride Month is a great time to open our hearts and minds to that idea and accept others and their right to live as they choose. 

Shapes of Love by L.V. Penalba is the perfect book to help us do so. This is a novel about a woman who does not feel romantic love. Not only is her story told with the utmost sensitivity, but other forms of love are also covered in the novel with equal sensitivity, including platonic love. For more about this book, see our previous post Tips for Tuesday - Books: Shapes of Love. Enter to win a copy below:
