The play will be performed at Footlight Theatre at the Parliament House Orlando on Saturdays, April 7, 14 and 21, at 8 p.m. The Animatronicans was written by Jeff Jones (Welcome to Hell, Hell Freezes Over, Little Miss Fringe Festival) and directed by Fringe veteran Michael Wanzie (The Lion Queen and the Naked GoGo Cub, Wanzie with a Z). Their identities have been unknown to their neighbors for years until one day when a journalist from the human world (Janine Klein) knocks on their door and turns their magical world upside down. President Abraham Lincoln (Josh Siniscalco), Journey in to Imagination’s Dreamfinder (Jeff Jones), now closed Maelstrom’s Polar Bear (James Keaton) and Carousel of Progress’s John (Doug Ba’aser) share a private home in Windermere. The Animatronicans is a sitcom style show that follows the adventures of theme park animatronic characters from current and closed attractions, allowing viewers to see what happens when the parks close and everyone, living and mechanical, goes home for the night. An updated version of the play will premiere at the Footlight Theatre at the Parliament House on April 7, 2018, and run through April 21. The original show won the Patron’s Pick at the 2016 Orlando Fringe Festival and the Critic’s Choice award for Best Comedy Play, and was later reprised at the Parliament House. Jeff Jones’ award winning comedy The Animatronicans is centered on the lives of four theme park animatronic characters living together in a home off property from the parks. ‘The Animatronicans’ are returning to Orlando in April 2018 with a newly updated edition of their hit Disney satire.Walt Disney World has seen some major changes since the theme park satire The Animatronicans debuted at the 2016 Orlando Fringe Festival, so the critically acclaimed comedy is returning in April 2018 with newly updated material.
