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.

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.
