Lily Tomlin brings her classic comedy show to Dallas to spotlight the plight of Jenny the elephant. Jenny is languishing her life away, confined in a tiny enclosure for two decades at the Dallas Zoo. The meager habitat expansion the Zoo plans is at least 2-3 years away. Jenny may never live to see it. She has waited too long already for a better life.

Jenny could have a wonderful life right now living as an elephant was meant to at The Elephant Sanctuary, world renowned for its expertise in rehabilitating and healing troubled and ailing elephants like Jenny. Lily and many of her North Texas friends urge City of Dallas decision makers to retire Jenny to the sanctuaries 300 lush, peaceful acres, where she can roam freely in the company of other elephants ... as nature intended. Come laugh with Lily and do a good turn for our dear friend in need, Jenny, at the same time!
