Petting Zoo Blues is a Fundraiser for The Loose Moose Theatre Company.
In an effort to reach more people we have made it a “Pay What You Want” model.
Petting Zoo Blues
The Capp family are the proud owners of ‘Noah’s Park’, the city’s oldest petting zoo. Their bitter rivals, the Monty’s came later to the petting zoo game, and ‘Zora’s Extreme Petting Zoo’ became all the rage. Recently the youngest of each family have just met and secretly fallen in love, and now must find a way to escape a pandemic lockdown and their feuding families to be together.
Lies, deceit, resentment, revenge, murder, and mayhem. If they seem to be familiar themes, that’s because history keeps repeating itself.
‘Petting Zoo Blues’ is a puppet tragic comedy in 12 short episodes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for children? No. Nope. Not good for children. Not even a little.
Why the ‘Pay What You Want’ model? We had many people ask if they could donate more to the theatre than the highest ticket price and our web guy was having challenges with math and stuff. Also, and more importantly, we really want to share what we’ve created and reduce the barrier to entry.
When are you going back to live shows? Our first live show will be “Chrismoose Carol Radio Play” on December 16, 17, 18, 19 2021.
