Culture Project Postpones 'Cat Who Went to Heaven'

Culture Project announced today that its production of The Cat Who Went to Heaven, a new musical puppet show with music and lyrics by Nancy Harrow (creator of Maya the Bee), has been postponed.  The show, directed by Will Pomerantz and based on the 1931 Newbery Award-winning book by Elizabeth Coatsworth, was set to begin performances on Saturday, November 17.  The production will re-surface in New York 2008.

"The Cat Who Went to Heaven is a jazz-inflected family tale about a struggling Japanese artist, his housekeeper, a Buddhist priest from the local temple and an inspirational cat.  When the cat unexpectedly appears in the starving artist's studio, his fortune begins to change.  While this production marks the show's stage debut, a CD version of The Cat Who Went to Heaven was released in 2006 to rave reviews," explain press notes.
