Slowly moving the rat cage into the wings while 'His Majesty' finishes a quick change, holding the cage door open... hearing "Ready rat cage" over headset... Reply "No king yet"... Rat king runs on stage & jumps into cage... "Cage on...Go"...

Such a lovely memory Mary! Thank you for sharing!

Must have been more than 25 years ago, we took Allen and Alyssa to see the Nutcracker. We sat in the front row.....right behind the orchestra conductor....we loved it all, but especially the mice!
