Puss In Hightops

A classic French tale with a contemporary twist

Two multi-talented performers present a full theatrical production with original upbeat music, dynamic dance routines, superb scenery, and clever dialogue. Follow the adventures of a hip, street-wise cat, whose smooth talking wins favor with the King and outwits a treacherous ogre. Discover how loyalty, intellect, and friendship can conquer evil and selfishness.

The traditional tale of "Puss In Boots" by Charles Perrault is lovingly adapted by Jonathan Luks, and is even highlighted with some simple French vocabulary. This clever talking cat makes a poor and hungry miller's son appear to be the Marquis of Carabas. She gains access to the palace, acquires food and gifts, conquers the evil ogre, obtains the ogre's castle, and helps her master to win the hand of the princess. All this is accomplished with her wit, knowledge, intellect, and powers of negotiation, rather than with any physical force.

PUSS IN HIGHTOPS will captivate children ages 4-13, and their families. It is a sure hit with children, teachers, and parents alike!
