THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX
Written, directed, and performed by PigPen Theatre Co.
A one-of-a-kind theatrical and musical adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s beloved, Newbery Medal–winning modern fable. Despereaux is a courageous mouse who dreams of becoming a knight. He sets off on a noble quest that will take him down into dungeons and up to the heights of a castle tower to rescue a beautiful human princess—but the dark-hearted rat Roscuro has other ideas.
“The whimsy of ‘Despereaux’ invites us all back to childhood. Then, its message reminds us that, like children, we still have a chance to be good.” - San Francisco Chronicle
