Join us for a staged reading created in partnership with Seattle Children's Theatre ("SCT")..

Award-winning playwright and Artistic Director of  SCT Idris Goodwin brings William Steig's tale of wit, wisdom, and whimsy to the stage with an eye-popping blend of live-action, puppetry, music, and rhyme.

Despite the sign outside stating that they do not treat predators, Doctor De Soto and Mrs. De Soto take pity on a suffering fox with a rotten tooth. But once he opens his jaws and they must step inside, they begin to rethink their decision.

Full of excitement and laughter, this modern-day fable proves that even the smallest creatures can make a big difference with kindness and a little quick thinking.

Professional theatre artists, puppeteers, Western students and faculty bring a special reading to the public free of charge.
