AND DIRECTED BY PAUL TEI

For Mad Cat Theatre Company's 12th season (that's right 12th), Miami's very own original gangbusters fighting for your right to see new work with a healthy dose of why not attitude theatre company, will be back at The Light Box at the Goldman Warehouse located at 404 NW 26TH Street with an inventive new play Macbeth and the Monster by Angela Berliner which has previously only been seen at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles.

Mat Cat will create some theatre magic like it has never done before with the story of Little Macbeth, because all Little Macbeth wants is a bedtime story to help him fall asleep. But when his mom tell his him the scary story of Macbeth and the Monster, he gets more than he bargained for.

This production is also an ALL AGES SHOW, so for those of you with kids, no baby sitter needed or if you of course have your own little monster at home and need a night out on the town, get that baby sitter and head to the theatre.
