"The Trouble with Alleycats," is a wonderful puppet show about coping with peer pressure and making good choices.   As one character says: "It's not that it's hard to say no to trouble, but how do we say no to our friends?"   This show deals with real life situations.   In each case, our heroes, Hal and Sally Alleycat, are taught a new way to stay safe by their Fairy Godmother and her singing sidekick, the Fairy Godbro!   The program reinforces what the children are already learning in guidance classes.

        Versions of The Trouble with Alleycats are available for upper and lower elementary as well as middle school.   They run about 45 minutes.   This show has been enthusiastically received by hundreds of schools throughout the area since 1992.   It has gotten high praise from students, counselors, teachers and administrators alike.   Here are a few of their responses.
