1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, CA 92101, USA

“It’s like watching child geniuses at play!” writes The New Yorker of PigPen Theatre Co.’s inventive storytelling. The company returns to the Old Globe stage with this Newbery Medal-winning tale of a mouse who wishes to become a knight. There’s a dungeon, a tower, a princess, and, as always, a nemesis—the rat Roscuro—plus music and stunning stage effects aimed at all ages. —L.J.
