ROYAL OAK — Stagecrafters Youth Theatre will be presenting its production of “The Jungle Book” March 2-5 at the Baldwin Theatre, located at 415 S. Lafayette Ave.

The Stagecrafters Youth Theatre features youth members ages 8–18 in live theater, including the ability to act, direct and manage all aspects of the production. “The Jungle Book” will be directed by Emilie Florkowski, who is directing her first Youth Theatre production.

“The story of ‘The Jungle Book’ focuses deeply on acceptance, protection, learning, and growing. Mowgli is a curious young child that finds herself in the middle of a pack of wolves. This pack recognizes this being, unlike their own kind, as being helpless and in need of nurture. They immediately welcome the child into their pack, raise her as one of their own, teaching the ways of life in the jungle, and protecting her from dangers lurking,” Florkowski said in a news release.
