Every theater should have a cat. Well ... that's what everyone told us. And we are darned
happy that they did.
We have a pretty special theater cat.
TC (Theater Cat - get it?) came to the theater by way of our next door neighbor - The Bier
Garden. (A fabulous restaurant - real German food - and, more importantly - real German
Beer!) A litter was born next door and, being cat lovers, we claimed the first cat we could
catch.
Took a week to get the cat out of detox. (Just kidding about detox, but it did take us weeks to
get him to stop craving ham!)
TC - Theater Cat - took a month or so to come out from the hole he poked through one of the
office walls. He is infamous in the area. In fact, the first night we had him he managed to
escape through the small tiny slit in the office window where he then hung out in the tree that
is in front of the theater - meowing like crazy.
The staff at the Bier Garden got concerned and ... called the Fire Department! Yes, they
actually called the Fire Department to come get a cat out of a tree.
And ... they came! Except, as the nice Fireman was climbing up the tree to rescue TC, TC
merely scampered back through the window and meowed at the Fireman from the safety of
the office.
I heard all about TC's exploits the next day in a city events committee meeting. And at lunch.
At supper. On the street. While parking my car and while throwing out the garbage.
You can see TC at almost every New Colony Theater event.
