We had so much fun performing City Mouse and Country Mouse for local elementary school students, and we loved seeing their laughter, energy, and excitement. Touring with this children’s show was such a joy, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to share theatre with the next generation.

This week, we’ll be reflecting back on our adventures on the road — and we’ll be posting some behind-the-scenes fun, including cast and crew answers to “mouse-themed” questions! 🧀🐾

Stay tuned for more smiles, stories, and a peek at the magic of theatre-on-tour.
