Pete the Cat
Hangar Theatre
Ithaca, NY
July 2024
Script and Lyrics by Sarah Hammond
Music by Will Aronson
Based on the Pete the Cat series of books by Kimberly and James Dean
Directed by Sarah Plotkin
For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets the Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking—that is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second-grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy “draws a blank” in art class during the last week of school, Pete becomes the perfect pal to help! In this crowd-pleasing musical, they set out together on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second-grade art and, along the way, learn something new about inspiration and creativity.
