About the Show

Sylvie is sent to the backyard to hang up the laundry. The moment her back is turned, a mischievous squirrel steals her favorite piece of clothing and runs off. When Sylvie gives chase, an entire world emerges from her laundry basket, and curious characters show her the way through mysterious lands. Will our lonely heroine rescue her underpants and discover the magic within herself? This wordless show features imaginative puppetry and live music!

All ages welcome, recommended 3+
Mixed puppetry styles

A special members-only party will be held after the shows on March 26, to celebrate the 10th birthday of Squirrel Stole My Underpants! More info & tickets →

About the Artist

Puppets! Music! Adventure! Invention! The Gottabees started making super fun theater for families in 2013 with the creation of Squirrel Stole My Underpants. They have since been selling out venues and inspiring homemade puppet shows throughout the US and Canada. They find it deeply satisfying to create original physical theater so families can do something fun together that allows them all to giggle, gasp, sigh, and cheer in 45 minutes or less.

Performed by Bonnie Duncan, Tony Leva, and Brendan Burns, The Gottabees’ shows are often stories told without words—they embrace the physical and the visual in theater. The result is a poetic, non­linear story that surprises audiences. One of the things that makes members of The Gottabees happiest is when they meet children who have seen a show and parents tell them how their child acted out the entire show for weeks after seeing it. This is the core reason why they make theater for young audiences: The Gottabees want children to know in their hearts that they, too, can make theater wherever they are and whomever they are.
