Mama Tomcat's Flying School:  The Musical!

MUSICAL. Adapted from award-winning author Luis Sepúlveda’s novel "The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly." After getting lost in the Atlantic and landing in an oil slick, a seagull manages to land in Boston at the front porch of Zorbo, a tomcat. Before the gull dies, Zorbo reluctantly promises to protect her egg, to feed the chick when it hatches, and to teach the young gull to fly. Zorbo discovers that hatching an egg isn’t as easy as it looks, so he enlists the help of his feline neighborhood friends: Sal, who works at an Italian restaurant; Einstein, an intelligent book-loving cat who can read; and the Admiral, a retired ship’s cat who loves to tell sea-faring tales. When the chick finally hatches, she takes one look at Zorbo and calls him “Mama.” Unsure how to raise a seagull chick, Einstein gets a book on how to raise chickens, but Zorbo can’t imagine what he was thinking when he agreed to teach the chick to fly. He’s a cat! What does he know about flying? And there’s another problem…Zorbo has a fear of heights! Audiences of all ages will fall in love with this humorous, heart-felt musical and its cast of adorable, whimsical characters. Perfect for touring. Includes eight original songs. Runner-up, Anna Zornio Playwriting Competition, University of New Hampshire, 2009.
