"Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!" The cap peddler, wears a huge stack of caps, balanced carefully on top of his head. Brown caps, blue caps, gray caps, and red caps. When no one buys a cap, he takes a nap under a shady tree. But, when he wakes up, the caps are gone! Was it bears, pirates, one thousand thieves or a band of merry mischievous monkeys? Co-adapted by Ann Marie Mulhean Sayer and Michael J. Bobbitt with music and lyrics by William Yanesh, directed by Ovation Award-nominated Patrick Pearson and a part of the Women's Voices Theater Festival, this folktale cleverly illustrates the saying, "Monkey see, monkey do."

The entire cast of the National Tour will reprise their roles, Alan Naylor starring as the peddler with Danny Pushkin, Sean Elias, Bibi Mama, and Rebecca Tucker.

Michael J. Bobbitt, Producing Artistic Director at Adventure Theatre MTC says of the experience, "The New Victory Theatre was amazing to work with in 2013, and it speaks to the work of our local production team and designers to be asked back so soon. We cannot wait to bring this world premiere to the Glen Echo stage, nationwide, and on 42ndstreet."
