About the show: They say true friendship is never serene. Certainly no one has ever understood the mysterious friendship of River Rat and Cat. From the day fastidious River Rat hauled a drowning sodden Cat from a sinking basket (thinking Cat was some unique collectible), all of the river creatures have been dismayed by the playful camaraderie of this unlikely duo.

Cat is imaginative, grand, fussy and thoroughly needy, while Rat is material, practical and thoroughly self-reliant. Lately, Rat has become frazzled by Cat's demands and has undertaken a program to make Cat more self-sufficient. However, Cat is determined to remain a pampered feline.

Unbeknownst to River Rat and Cat, their downstream neighbor, Dale Beaver, has cast an eye on the one remaining tree, a tree currently owned by River Rat and inhabited by Cat. Easily drawn to fame, Beaver needs this tree if the Dale Beaver Dam is to remain the tallest on the river. Beaver must find a way to break up this friendship so that Rat will evict Cat.   

It's a beautifully imaginative, well- written all ages show.  Bring a buddy down to the River ... you'll have a blast!
