Florida State University's School of Theatre presents a family-friendly comedy show based on the popular picture book by Mo Willems.
"Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience" will run from Thursday, Nov. 21 through Sunday, Nov. 24 at the Richard G. Fallon Theatre.
"From the moment the lights go up, you're in for a fantastic time filled with music, dancing and mole rats who are totally - wait for it - NAKED! (just kidding!)," said director Julie Woods-Robinson. "This show is all about embracing change and finding yourself."
The story follows Wilbur, a mole rat who challenges the status quo by wearing clothes. The high-energy rock soundtrack accompanies Wilbur's journey, promoting themes of authenticity and self-expression.

The high-energy rock soundtrack that accompanies Wilbur's journey is sure to get you dancing in your seat."
