Jungle Jack Hanna Turns Overture into Animal House
Vilas Zoo Residents Will Also Stop By
Madison, (Wis.) - Jungle Jack Hanna brings his animal adventures to Capitol Theater at Overture Center for the Arts, 201 State St, Madison, on Sunday, October 18, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
And some of our local furry friends from the Henry Vilas Zoo will join the fun from 2:30 to 4:30 in the lobby. Visits with these animals are free for all!
Through his nationally syndicated television show Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures, and hundreds of TV appearances, animal expert Jack Hanna has become a household name. Jungle Jack’s live show features some of his favorite animal friends, as well as fascinating and humorous stories and footage from his adventures around the world.
Jack Hanna discovered his love for animals while working for his family's veterinarian at age 11. He went on to become the director of the Columbus Zoo, and helped to transform it into the state-of-the-art park that it is today. Jack Hanna and his furry friends have been featured on Good Morning America, The Late Show with David Letterman, Larry King Live, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Hanna says the animals he brings to shows are ambassadors to their cousins in the wild, and love to perform!
Jungle Jack Hanna appears as part of the Tomcat Products Simply Spectacular Series.
