FRYEBURG, Maine — Arts in Motion Theater Co. and director Jacob Dunham —who helmed hit local productions “Mary Poppins,” “Newsies,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Catch Me If You Can” — are teaming up again for the technically impressive and emotionally arresteing “Tarzan: The Musical."
With songs by pop artist Phil Collins, “Tarzan” is based on the 1999 Disney animated retelling of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic story of a man raised by gorillas in the African jungle.
