The SnowCat will be presented on Sunday December 13, 2015 at 1:00 PM at Berger Performing Arts Center. An original musical production by flugelhornist and composer Dmitri Matheny, The SnowCat is the heart-warming holiday tale of a little girl’s search for her wandering white cat on a chilly afternoon and the life lessons she learns on the spirit of sharing and gratitude.
