IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE Comes to Performance Network This Weekend

Produced in partnership with Etico Productions, Performance Network's If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?is a delightful family production exploring the delicious chain reaction set in motion when a little boy offers a cookie to a visiting mouse.

Directed by John Manfredi and starring Eric Eilersen as The Boy and Sarah McEneaney and The Mouse, I?f You Give a Mouse a Cookie?is a wonderful tale of a boy who tries to meet the demands of a very needy house guest. Based on the popular children's book by Laura Numeroff, this whimsical stage adaptation examines when innocent milk­and­cookie snack time goes from mishap to catastrophe faster than the twitch of a whisker!

"This show has always been very popular for Etico Productions," said Manfredi. "It's messy, it's fun and it really gets kids excited about the arts. It's a great family outing and I'm happy we were able to reschedule it from December."
