Players Club of Swarthmore's Children's Theatre to Present PUSS IN BOOTS

The famous story of a clever cat who saves her master by outwitting an evil ogre comes to Swarthmore!

A fantastic tale of destiny, intrigue and triumph, this particular version of the classic Puss in Boots is developed with the help of the audience.

Recommended for children age 3 and up, Puss in Boots is the familiar tale of the lovable Simple, who befriends an extremely clever cat. The cat is so grateful for Simple's friendship, and especially for the beautiful pair of boots she receives, that she promises to find Simple a place to live. With the audience's creative assistance, Puss also manages to find Simple a well-matched princess and helps Simple to defeat the evil ogre.
