Get ready for a groovy adventure with “Pete the Cat,” the stage production that brings the beloved blue feline to life! For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where he winds up. From the moment Pete meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking—except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth.

When Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, Pete steps in as the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they embark on a vibrant mission to help Jimmy conquer his second-grade art project. Along the way, Pete and Jimmy learn valuable lessons about creativity, friendship, and finding inspiration in unexpected places.
Join Jimmy and Pete on their exciting journey from the classroom to the streets of Paris and back in a VW Bus! With catchy songs, colorful characters, and plenty of heart, “Pete the Cat” is a musical adventure that will have audiences of all ages tapping their feet and singing along. Based on the series of children’s books written and illustrated by James Dean.
