The Penguin Players Return With Otis


Dollywood’s Penguin Players will return to Buncombe County Public Libraries in May. This year, the Penguin Players once again present Otis by Loren Long.

A fun-loving tractor, Otis roams the fields after a hard day's work and plays in the haystacks, but it’s his determination that shows there’s a place for everyone! Otis is a lively 20-minute production filled with sing-along songs, including music written especially for the Penguin Players by Dolly Parton.

This program is free and children of all ages are invited. The schedule of performances is:

  • Monday, May 7
    Pack Memorial Library at 10:30am
    Weaverville Library at 4pm
  • Tuesday, May 8
    Black Mountain Library at 10:30am
