Title: Comendy for a Cause for Family Audiences: Squirrel Stole My Underpants – 4pm
Location: PCA – 10 Lincoln St. Westford, MA
Description: Comedy for a Cause for Family Audiences : ‘Squirrel Stole My Underpants’

What does a world-traveling dancer and puppeteer do when she finds herself with three kids under five at home? Make a show for kids, to tour the world again, of course!

A special LIVE! performance of Squirrel Stole My Underpants will be performed at the Parish Center for the Arts, 10 Lincoln St, in Westford on Sunday, December 7 at 4:00 pm. This event is open to the public and a terrific show for the young-at-heart of all ages.

Squirrel Stole My Underpants, created & performed by the very talented Bonnie Duncan, and awarded a 2013 Jim Henson Foundation Family Project Grant, explores the childhood dream of ‘wanting to be grown-up’ by using creative puppetry, mime, dance, and music. http://www.bonnie-duncan.com/

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. Will our lonely heroine discover the magic within herself and rescue her underpants?
