Petit Léopard at Drayton Arms Theatre

How does one overcome the daily nibbles, gnawings, and slashes of the heart?

You call your mom. You get possessed by a Leopard. You call your mom again.

Capucine was raised in the French part of Canada by the women around her, and in the embrace of that safety and warmth she did what every little girl dreams of doing: she dressed up as a leopard every day for 3 years and hissed at people from under a table. Some girls really can have it all. 

Now, she suddenly finds herself 28 years old, in a new city, post-break up, dreaming big dreams , and missing the women who raised her. With the help (or maybe no help) of her leopard subconscious, Capucine confronts self doubt, grief, and heartbreak, all while endeavoring to remain a good (or at least decent) person.

In this bold, funny and touching original piece of Poetry Theatre, we follow the journey from girl to woman and back again through clown, poetry, and an open exploration of the heart. Also there’s an old guy named Richard A. Horn, he’s sort of separate from that, but he’ll be a great guide, it’s fine, don’t worry about him. It all comes together, we promise.
