Rainforest Reptiles Live

Check out reptiles up close and personal during a one hour educational show presented by Rainforest Reptiles Live.

Presented March 9 at 3:30 p.m. at the Marblehead Little Theatre, the interactive show will contain detailed information about each of the animals (or in this case reptiles) including their habitats, defense mechanisms, and natural diets.

The show is for kids ages 3 and up. The cost for children ages 3-12 is $15 and ages 13 and older $18 but if kids of any age (including adults) want the front row or floor the cost is $20 per person.

Rainforest Reptile Shows is a family business established in 1993, founded by Joan Gallagher and Michael Ralbovsky to educate and entertain people of all ages.

The event is a fundraiser sponsored by Salem State University professor Mandy Lobraico. Lobraico is working on raising enough money to cover the cost of taking her entire class overseas for a study abroad program in Greece.

For more information on the event contact Mandy Lobraico at mlobraico@salemstate.edu or at 857-383-0645
