River Rat and Cat Tours Community Arts Centers                    

The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's Off the Hill series concludes this spring with the hilarious River Rat & Cat. The show will tour to community arts centers throughout the region from until May 18.

River Rat and Cat learn that they don’t need to be the same or even like the same things in order to be good friends. Their daily tiffs take back-seat importance in the face of the imminent destruction of their habitat by the over-eager Dale Beaver. This hilarious comedy about friendship and cooperation is by Y York, the same playwright who brought us The Garden of Rikki Tikki Tavi.

River Rat & Cat is recommended for ages 5 and up. Performances are scheduled at the following sites this month:

Friday, April 20, 7:00 p.m., Springfield Township

 Friday, April 27, 7:00 p.m., Oxford Community Arts Center

Saturday, April 28, 2:00 p.m., Sharonville Fine Arts Council
 
Saturday, April 28, 7:00 p.m., District A/Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian
 
Sunday, April 29, 3:00 p.m., Miami VOA
