With funny twists on a familiar tale, this timeless show can be staged in any time period with almost all roles played by any gender.
Pia does not enjoy playing her pipe, yet every day her mother makes her go to her grandmother’s house to practice. Pia’s father was a musician, so her mother is sure Pia must have a natural inclination for music, right? Wrong! Luckily Grandmother is hard of hearing because, despite hours of practice, Pia truly is a terrible pipe player! Meanwhile, a labor dispute among the village’s sanitation workers has brought all garbage pickup to a halt. The rats have never been happier! With a rat infestation in the village, the mayor realizes that Pia’s “talent” for making terrible music could come in handy. Perhaps bad music can be put to good use and Pia can become a famous musician after all!
