Story Theatre

2026 Spring Tour
Three Little Kittens

Oh no! The three little kittens have lost their mittens! But these are not your ordinary house cats! Join the three little kittens as they find their mittens with the help of the audience and are saved from their worst nightmare- a time out! In this 40-minute show the kittens will learn the importance of telling the truth to others. This show is best suited for preschool through 3rd grade.

Technical Requirements

  1. Electrical outlet close to performance space.
  2. We prefer performing on gym floors instead of on a stage. We need to be close to the children for the audience participation. Please make special arrangements with us if we’re to perform in a room other than a gym.
    Minimum requirements: 25’ wide by 20’ deep of flat, open space. Ceiling height minimum of 10’.
  3. The audience participation calls for a good number of children seated on the floor close to us instead of everyone on risers.
Interested in bringing Story Theatre to your school this spring? Story Theatre is free to schools thanks to a generous sponsor.
