Oregon Children's Theatre Presents BAD KITTY!
By: Sally Henry Fuller Jan. 27, 2016
Some surprises are too hard to handle! Kitty doesn't want a smelly new dog, a drooling new baby, or Uncle Murray's unusual cat sitting. Kitty just wants to have Kitty's world back to normal. A world that revolves around the most important creature in Kitty's life ... KITTY.
Bad Kitty: On Stage is based on the New York Times bestselling book series by Nick Bruel (winner of 2012 and 2013 Children's Choice Awards). "The Bad Kitty book series is hilarious! I laughed out loud when I read them. It's been exciting to see the script develop with each new draft, weaving together multiple Bad Kitty stories while keeping all the comedic chaos of the books. The characters will really come to life with this talented, fun, and creative cast." - Director Dani Baldwin Oregon Children's Theatre is thrilled to partner again with Bay Area Children's Theatre on this world premiere. Previously the two companies collaborated on creating Magic School Bus Live.
