Go Into The Wild With “Jungle Jack” Hanna at The Clay Cooper Theatre on June 19, 2011

Branson, MO. — America’s most beloved animal expert “Jungle Jack” Hanna brings his animal friends to the Clay Cooper Theatre for two special performances at 3:30 and 7:30 pm, Sunday, June 19.
“Jungle Jack’s” live show features many of his favorite animal friends as well as fascinating and humorous stories and footage from his adventures around the world. Hanna and his furry and feathered friends provide ahhh-some animal escapades (sometimes unscripted) and educate us about the protection and conservation of some our planet’s most precious species. Audiences give Jack rave reviews – everyone from the youngest child to the oldest adult is entertained and inspired.

Hanna’s television career began in 1983, when he was invited to appear on Good Morning America following the birth of baby twin gorillas at the Columbus Zoo where he served as director. Through the years, he has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Larry King Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Entertainment Tonight, Fox News, and several other programs as well.

In 1992, Hanna’s media appearances were taking so much time that he became director emeritus at the Columbus Zoo. In 1993, he became host of the nationally syndicated Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures. After 12 years, he started a new TV series, Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild, an action-packed series that won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Series in 2008.

Author of 11 books and counting, his timeless tales continue to captivate audiences from every generation. Everyone respects this ambassador between the animal and human worlds. Clay Cooper Theatre is excited to welcome “Jungle Jack” to Branson, Missouri. Call for reservations today by calling 877-317-2604 or book online www.claycoopertheatre.com.
