Synopsis

Introducing the ONE, the ONLY, the ORIGINAL… MOUSE! Your favourite Mouse is back by popular demand to tickle your funny bone and take you on a roundabout, back-to-front, upside-down adventure. We sold-out once and we’ll probably sell-out again so be sure to get your tickets. 

IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE is a delightful story based on the best selling book by Laura J. Numeroff. You won’t be able to resist Mouse’s charm as you find yourself pulled into an imaginative tale of circular logic.

Let’s say you’re settling down in the kitchen with your favourite “Jungleman, Beast-Master of the Amazon” comic book when a cute-as-a-button mouse in overalls and a backpack shows up. What do you do? Join in the fun as Boy finds himself figure skating on scrub brushes, wrestling boa constrictors and climbing mountains when an innocent milk-and-cookie snack time goes from mishap to calamity to catastrophe faster than the twitch of a whisker! This mouse talks fast, thinks fast, moves fast and leaves a trail of creative chaos in his wake. Will the fun never end?

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is one wild, imaginative, laugh inducing, roller-coaster of a ride where the end takes you right back to the beginning – just like you knew it would. Cookie anyone?

Highlights of the Show

§         If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is an extraordinary piece of theatre for children, young people and families. It is stimulating, creative and has social and literary breadth.

§         If You Give A Mouse A Cookie incorporates strong visuals, toe-tapping songs, creative staging and wonderful puppetry.

§         If You Give A Mouse A Cookie is a play with strong educational value. It:

o        Nurtures in your child the joy of books and reading.

o        Teaches cause and effect.

o        Explores the idea of being able to say ‘No’, knowing when to draw the line and standing up for yourself.

§         Question & Answer Session. All our shows have a post-show Q&A session that helps young audience members consolidate their thoughts of the show, clarify any questions they might have on who, how, why and to ask the actors any questions about themselves or how theatre is made. 

Players Theatre is pleased to be working with schools to supplement the Ministry of Education’s STELLAR Literacy programme with our literature based theatre exposure and experience performances.
