Our mice have a problem. They don’t quite know what a house looks like but they sure know they’d like to build one. Can our audience friends help them figure out how to make a great house for everyone? Featuring boxes, parachutes, building things, things falling over, and the opportunity for our youngest audience members to help make our mouse’s goals a success.

Pandora's Suitcase poster a girl carries a suitcase by a rocky edged river

Pandora’s Suitcase

Written by Sarah Bierstock
Directed by Christine Albright-Tufts
Costumes and Scenery Designed by Carmen Martinez
Sound Design by Kevin O’Connor

Pandora is Seriously Curious and Seriously Worried about a lot of things. She loves Environmental Science and asks a lot of questions in her pursuit of learning all she can. When the kids at school call her Teacher’s Pet one too many times, she decides to try out life at Dad’s house, and enrolls at Smarty Pants Academy. Before she leaves she just has this one, Exceptionally Important Scientific Experiment she must complete. It involves a large suitcase she lugs around with her. What could be inside and why does she need to drag it to the river? 

Pandora’s delightful story explores how both kids and adults can handle anxiety, learning how to ask others for help, and encourages young people to be confident in the people they are becoming.
