 "The Magical Pied Piper"

The UU Players performed "The Magical Pied Piper" from March 23rd to the 25th, 2007. The shows were at 7 p.m. Friday, and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

There is trouble in Hamelin Town! The village is overrun with rats who eat the cheese, the meat and the butter, and even make nests in the baker's pies. Even the famous Kitty Cat Patrol headed by Police Sergeant Thomas Katz cannot cope with the problem. So the mayor offers a great reward for anyone who can rid Hamelin of its rodents. Then Peter (who is in love with the mayor's daughter) receives a magical pipe from Fairy Bibblethwaite and ... well, come see the play!
