It all starts so simply – a day like any other. A boy stays home alone when his mom goes to visit Aunt Rose. It’s only a few hours and he does have the new Jungleman of the Amazon comic to occupy him. With a few cookies and a good spot to read, everything seems so perfect. Then the Mouse shows up, hungry – talkative – and not to be ignored. What can the boy do but give the Mouse a cookie? Wouldn’t you do the same thing? So... what do you get when a precocious mouse and an obliging boy spend the afternoon together? Cookie crumbs, spilled milk, and a whole lot of outrageous physical comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles.  Recommended for all ages. Performances at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts Black Box in Downtown Olympia. Thursdays & Fridays at 7:00 pm. Saturdays & Sundays at 2:00 pm.
