A poignantly silly adventure tale for families

Sneaky squirrel robs girl!  

In this poignantly silly adventure tale for families, Sylvie is sent to the backyard to hang up the laundry. The moment her back is turned, a mischievous squirrel steals her favorite piece of clothing and runs off. When Sylvie gives chase, an entire world emerges from her laundry basket, and curious characters show her the way through mysterious lands.

​Featuring: physical theater, puppetry, and a giant pile of clothes.  

Recommended for ages 3 & up.  
Available for theatres, festivals, schools, and community events.
