Squirrel Stole My Underpants

A 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.
Will our lonely heroine rescue her underpants and discover the magic within herself? Join us on this adventure to find out!
*Recommended for ages 3 and up*
Created & performed by Bonnie Duncan
Music by Brendan Burns & Tony Leva
Directed by Dan Milstein
Costumes by Penney Pinette
Set by Hamideh Rezaei-Kamalabad
Developed with the generous support of Puppet Showplace Theatre's Incubator program.
