If you follow us on Facebook you may have already heard about the play "Squeakers and Mr. Gumdrop". The play is co-created and co-directed by Natalie Cutcher and Amanda Forstrom. The intended audience is for ages 2-5 and their families.


Are you curious what the show is about? Here's the synopsis: One snowy winter morning, Mr. Gumdrop prepares for his annual holiday party! When an unexpected and curious mouse appears, Mr. Gumdrop's routine is thrown for a loop. Can these two wildly different characters work together to get the holiday preparations done in time? This nonverbal, imaginative production captures the magic of making new friends and sharing ideas to accomplish big goals.


This performance is being held at 1st Stage, 1524 Spring Hill Road, Tysons, VA 22102. There are four showtimes to choose from Friday, 30 Dec 2022 at 10:30AM; Saturday, 31 Dec 2022 at 10:00AM; Saturday, 31 Dec 2022 at 11:30AM; and Sunday, 1 Jan 2023 at 11:00AM. 


MacKid Fairfax wishes all families a fabulous, healthy, and happy New Years!
