It all starts so simply – a day like any other. A boy stays home alone when his mom goes to visit Aunt Rose. With a few cookies and a good spot to read, everything seems so perfect. When the Mouse shows up, hungry – talkative – and not to be ignored. What can the boy do but give the Mouse a cookie? So... what do you get when an energetic mouse and an obliging boy spend the afternoon together? Cookie crumbs, spilled milk, and a whole lot of outrageous physical comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles.

Rehearsals begin on Tuesday January 31, 2012. The show will run for schools and families in the Whisenhunt Theatre February 16 through March 30, 2012.

The first school performance will be on Thursday February 16 and opening day is Saturday, February 18, 2012. Performances will be Tuesdays through Saturdays weekly with the final performance on Friday March 30. Actors should audition only if they will have daytime availability in February and March. Matinee performances will be at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
