For tickets, call 425-257-8600. It’s Splat’s first day of school and he’s worried. What if he doesn’t make any new friends? Just in case, Splat decides to bring along his pet mouse, Seymour, and hides him in his lunchbox. But when Seymour escapes and the classroom of cats do what cats do, Splat’s worried again. Maybe now he’ll lose all his friends. Thank goodness for the wise Mrs. Wimpydimple, who takes charge and teaches everyone an important new lesson.
