Novato Actors to Star in 'Puss in Boots'

A handful of Novato performers will star next month in Puss in Boots, an annual musical production for young kids presented by Masque Units Theatre.

In its 51st production, Masque Units tells the the story of the crazy antics of a conniving pussycat. The book, lyrics, and music for the show are by Ian Farady and Andrew Oxspring. Among the performers are Novato residents Susan Bell Warner, Kathy Eggert, Kele Gasparini and Fran Roberts. 

The show runs March 9-10 at the Showcase Theater at the Marin Civic Center. Performances are at 1 and 3 p.m. Tickets are $8.

Masque Unit Theatre was established in 1961 by a group of women who recognized a need to provide live theatre experiences at a reasonable cost for young children in Marin. It is a nonprofit of volunteers who combine their talents in costuming, choreography, set design, producing and stage performing.
