Karl the Cat and the Junkyard Pack

About

Created by Jesse Lewis and Rachel Van Staalduinen | Produced by Playdough Productions | Origin: Ottawa, Ontario

Karl is an adventurous cat, exploring the garbage peaks and demolished cars of their junkyard home, but they struggle with figuring out their purpose. Introducing the audience, the junkyard tourists, to their many puppet friends, Karl will begin to figure out who they are. They’ll find adventure with those who matter to them most in a spectacle of live music and originally designed hand-puppets.
