Character Breakdown
Doctor John Dolittle- An eccentric country doctor who loves animals more than people. He is smart, passionate, driven and the consummate optimist, always looking for the best in every situation.
Madeline Mugg- Dolittle's sassy friend who thoroughly enjoys the adventures she goes on with Dolittle. Madeline is Dolittle's compatriot, sharing his love and views of animals.
Tommy Stubbins-A happy-go-lucky kid who idolizes Doctor Dolittle and enjoys playing with the animals
Emma Fairfax-A strong, tough woman who is willing to speak her mind. She learns to appreciate -Dolittle's love of animals and grows to have feelings for him.
General Bellowes -Emma's uncle and the magistrate of Puddleby-On-The-Marsh. An ill-tempered man with limited people skills, this non-singing role is perfect for a student with good stage presence and a powerful speaking voice.
Albert Blossom -A shrewd business man who owns a dilapidated touring circus. This curmudgeonly old guy is a nice character role.
Gertie Blossom -One tough cookie. She is Albert's wife and makes sure the circus runs the way she wants it to.
Berta, Vladimir, Mavis-workers in Blossom's circus.
Straight Arrow-A well-educated and passionate man living the life of a warrior chief on Popsipetel Island. He's warm and embracing to both humans and animals.

Villagers-All acquaintances of Doctor Dolittle.
Cirucs Folk-special skills, such as tumbling or juggling very helpful.
Warriors-Inhabitants of Popsipetel Island.
Polynesia-Doctor Dolittle's intelligent, spunky assistant: his right-hand parrot. She speaks in English with the Humans, and she is often the one with the answers.
Jip-Dolittle's ever-faithful dog.
Herbert-A quiet hedgehog who likes to sit in Doctor Dolittle's chair
Dab-dab-A pet duck. Cast a student who is a good mover and is willing to act a little goofy.

All the fun of trick or treating that comes with Halloween is something most families look forward to, but this holiday can present some unique challenges for our little ones who are non-verbal, or are simply not comfortable saying: "Trick or Treat" or “Happy Halloween”. All of the walking around, meeting strangers and being expected to talk to those strangers, plus all of the transitioning between houses, it can be really stressful.
We have created a FREE printable card for your child to use to make their Halloween night a little more enjoyable!
