Pete the Cat

Your Groove. Your Rock-n-roll Adventure.

For Pete the Cat, life is a groovalicious, beautiful adventure. For Jimmy Biddle, life has rules, structure, and order. When Pete becomes the Biddle family’s new housecat, Jimmy has trouble letting go of his uptight ways. But when he’s drawing a blank during art class, Pete’s open-minded, rock-n-rollin’ creativity is just the kick that he needs.

Pete the Cat is a part of the 4th annual “One Picture Book, 1 Lexington” – a partnership between Lexington Children’s Theatre, First 5 Lex, and the Lexington Public Library encouraging families across Lexington to read books together! Pete the Cat is taking over Lexington: join a story walk at the Arboretum, join a reading at the library, then see it come to life on our stage. Learn more at https://onepicturebooklex.com/
