CAT TALES -- An all-family Play with Actors and Puppets

CAT TALES is a family friendly show for children ages 5 to 95 and up. We celebrate our whiskered friends with a sing-along of the “Hey Diddle, Diddle” poem performed by the cast and a traditional limberjack doll. Following that is “The Song of the Jellicles” poem from Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. Actors recite Eliot’s delightful verses while imitating a gavotte and leading the audience in a sing-along. Our featured work is an actor and puppet rendition of “The Cat That Walked by Himself” from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories for Children.
