‘Puss in Boots’ drops into the park

The CityParks PuppetMobile is driving into the Cunningham Park on June 24 with a fun puppet show.

“Puss in Boots,” presented by CityParks PuppetMobile, is the old tale — with a twist.

Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life — a roof over his head, the clothes on his back, and his ever faithful pet cat. One day while lamenting his poor lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his cat stands up, begins talking, and introduces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to Fergus that he is very intelligent and well traveled, and even has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation. With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey. Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!

“Puss in Boots,” June 24 from 4 to 5 pm. Free.
