Check out what the Shepard Express said about First Stage's PETE THE CAT! 👀💙
"Perhaps the best review one could imagine was overheard during the matinee’s exit. One boy, who somehow knew that another performance was scheduled for later that afternoon, said, 'can we come back later and see it again?'" Come and see PETE THE CAT now through November 3rd.
