July 11, 13, 19 & 20 – The Heroic Adventures of Puss ‘N Boots (“CRT Kids”)

10am. A participation play by local playwright Kim L. Hubbard. Join that swashbuckling hero Puss ‘N Boots and his friends on an amazing adventure, with a valuable and timely morale about bullying and the importance of the consideration towards others. When Little Red (in her favorite red hoodie!) is captured by the evil Captain Hook and his contrary assistant Mary Mary, Ginger the Gingerbread Girl enlists the aid of the great hero of the Fantasy Forest Puss N’ Boots to help rescue her! In their search for their friend, they meet Little Boy Blue, who is blue because Hook and Mary have bullied him into helping them and he feels badly about himself. Thanks to the cleverness of Puss, Red is saved, Boy Blue learns of his self-worth, and even Hook learns an important lesson about himself. This story about understanding self-esteem, friendship, and forgiveness is told in an exciting way, complete with swashbuckling sword fights, witty humor and lots of audience participation!
