CAT is an opera-musical about a cat that becomes transfixed and transformed by the world of letters. Written by author George Plimpton, composed by Kitty Brazelton, and directed by Grethe Barrett Holb, the 45 minute opera engages the audience with singing and sound effects, transforming the crowd into the show’s chorus and orchestra. Full of humor and imagination, this gentle tale set to uproarious music will inspire the young and the young at heart to spread their wings and explore adventures in the world of letters.
