Drop your cookies – or pancakes or muffins, for the Pigs and Moose out there – and join us for the regional premiere of Laura Joffe Numeroff's holiday-themed tale. This larger-than-life production combines the title story with Numeroff’s other seasonal book, “Merry Christmas, Mouse!” It’s Christmas Eve and our famously bossy Mouse protagonist simply cannot wait to go to the movies! But if you take a mouse to the movies, well, who knows what will happen next? Will there be popcorn strings? Yes. Christmas trees? Of course. And snowmen? All this and so much more! A delightful visual treat – and a fresh new story to brighten your family’s holidays.

"...an entertaining experience for all. Maybe someone should write another circle story, If You Take a Child to the Theatre ... the pay off is fun.”

"... Take a Mouse is pretty low on deep seasonal meaning, but it's high in slapstick comedy satisfaction."
