Fancy feline cuddles up at Treehouse
OGDEN -- The cool cat of fairy tales returns to the stage to kick off Treehouse Troupe's new season of plays.
The curtain rises on "Puss in Boots" at 6 p.m. Saturday in the Castle Theater of the museum, 347 22nd St. Additional performances are scheduled at 6 p.m. each Saturday through November.
"Puss in Boots" has been performed at the museum in the past and is back by popular demand, but Treehouse Troupe has new shows scheduled for the rest of the season.
"Beauty and Her Beast," an original version of the classic tale, hits the stage in January. "The Fisherman," scheduled each Saturday in March, is a Japanese tale about a journey to a magical undersea kingdom.
The hourlong plays are recommended for children age 3 and older, and are followed by a question-and-answer session.
Tickets cost $6, available online at www.treehousemuseum.org. Museum members may purchase tickets for $4, or buy a family season pass for $25. If a show sells out, a second performance may be added later in the evening.
