Greta the Mouse... that swept the staircase.

Greta ia a mouse, and a great artist; she juggles, swings from the trapeze, walks the tightrope and... sweeps the theatre. While passing the broom under the stage one night after the show, she finds a coin! Her friend, Rinaldo, a member of the backstage crew, advises her to buy a pretty bow to put on her tail, but Greta is determined: she will use it to produce a great show! Today is the day of the auditions to determine which animal will be her partner on stage. Will it be the ventriloquist Cock? Or the Pig visual arts performer? Or perhaps the Dog flea circus owner? Or perhaps the Donkey Magician? Or will she fall into the claws of the mentalist Cat?Buy your tickets here.
