The Gift of Nothing: A Musical for Children of All Ages

Based on the book by Patrick McDonnell
Adapted for the Stage by Patrick McDonnell, Aaron Posner, and Erin Weaver
Music and Lyrics by Andy Mitton

The charming holiday musical for audiences of all ages returns following its smash hit limited run last season. Based on Caldecott Honor winner Patrick McDonnell’s heartwarming children’s book of the same name, the production brings to life the beloved characters from his “Mutts” comics. Young and old will find delight in following the story of Mooch the cat searching for the perfect gift for his best friend, Earl the dog. Blending whimsy with a heartfelt message, this holiday heart-warmer is a tender reminder that time spent together might just be the greatest gift of all. Fun for the whole family, its colorful set, whimsical characters, and short running time make it perfect for introducing little ones to their first live theatre experience.

The following dates will have relaxed performances, all at 11am:
