“Curiosity Cat” is a comedy for all ages. “Curiosity Cat” (Brett Kroeger, band director) is a cat who doesn’t feel that he is a stray, but just has not found a home. He is curious about everything and the evil next door neighbor, Mr. Skeevelberger, and his dog, Sergeant Schultz, try to capture him and put him in a permanent cat nap. Claire, Charlie and Mrs. Podger try to rescue him before the time of midnight arrives.
Are you curious if the cat makes it and if so, how? Come have a fun, relaxing evening and support this band fundraiser.
