Accusing someone of being raised by wolves isn’t a compliment. It usually implies that someone has very bad manners, and acts wild and uncivilized. But all of these behaviors can be very good and even necessary—in an actual jungle, that is. Good behavior is relative, and no story emphasizes that like Rudyard Kipling’s classic, The Jungle Book. Human boy Mowgli lives life among jungle animals, engaging in behavior that would be out of place anywhere else. But he eventually combines his animal instincts and human wit to triumph over an evil tiger bent on destruction. A children’s production at Garland Civic Theatre brings the story to the stage. The Jungle Book plays 10 a.m. Wednesday through November 2 for school groups; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. November 3 and 2 p.m. November 4 at Garland Civic Theatre, 108 N. Sixth St. in Garland. Tickets are $7 to $12. Call 972-485-8884 or visit garlandcivictheatre.org.
Oct. 31-Nov. 2, 10 a.m.; Sat., Nov. 3, 2 & 7:30 p.m.; Sun., Nov. 4, 2 p.m., 2007
