| May 3 - June 7, 2008 Enjoy a theatrical performance for the entire family! |
| The Truly Remarkable Puss-In-Boots An extraordinary talking cat struts through a series of adventures and conquers a terrifying ogre. Puss not only helps her young master live happily ever after but shows us that good fortune can often be found where we least expect it. This clever adaptation of the original 17th century fairy tale by Charles Perrault is purr-fectly grand. Saturdays 11:00am and 1:30pm The Company OnStage 536 Westbury Square Reservations strongly recommended. Visit the box office or call 713-726-1219. |
