Billy McCleary, a cast member from The Gruffalo’s Child, made a magical visit to UMC Children’s Hospital while in town for the show’s April run inside Troesh Studio Theater at The Smith Center.
McCleary, who plays the Gruffalo, Snake Owl and Fox in the production, helped to brighten the day for kids and staffers as he walked the halls, spent time in patient rooms and provided copies of the book.
The Smith Center thanks him for generously volunteering his time.
