MEOW!

It’s a cat’s world. The stage is populated by all sorts of cats. One particular kitten by the name of Mewliet (as in Juliet) comes to the group with a problem. Her friend, who has a huge admiration for cats and their ability to climb trees, would like Mewliet to teach them how to climb a tree like a cat. The other cats are eager to help until they find out that the friend’s name is Rover and is, in fact, a dog! They are outraged. Cats hate dogs and vice versa. But why? Through the course of the musical, the cats, Rover, and his canine pals, come to realize that maybe if they got a different perspective, say from the top of a tree, things might look different and we all might get along all within 25 to 30 minutes,
