Puss in Boots

By Moses Goldberg

Directed by Derek Salazar

Summary

Puss in Boots is a fast-paced and witty interpretation of a beloved classic. An inventive prologue introduces the young audience to some of the conventions of the stage in an amusing way. The troupe then performs the familiar tale of the lovable Simple, who befriends an extremely clever cat. The cat is so grateful for Simple's friendship, and especially for the beautiful pair of boots she receives, that she promises to find Simple a place to live. With the audience's creative assistance, Puss also manages to find Simple a well-matched princess and helps Simple to defeat the evil ogre.
