“Pete the Cat”

Pete the Cat is one groovy cat who gets welcomed into a family, the Biddles, that is in need of a good time for once. The only one heavily opposed to this is second-grader Jimmy Biddle, who has too much on his plate to deal with Pete. As the end of the school year approaches, Jimmy needs Pete for art class–will this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship? Find out during this 50-minute production from Theatreworks USA.
