PUSS IN BOOTS / Toy Machine Theatre

for kids 3 and up
performance length: 40 min
A puppet fairy-tale with singing and a bird choir / in Czech.

When one brother gets a mill and the other a donkey, it seems to the third that getting a tomcat is getting shortchanged. It’s even more of a let down when the tomcat’s a vegetarian and has mice as buddies. Even so, friendship is sometimes worth much more than half a kingdom and a princess to boot. Here’s a merry tale based on the motives of the well-known Grimm Brother’s fairy-tale, where you can join us in "purrfect" song of a well-known "meow-lody."
