Q: Is RESCUE RUE available for licensing to perform in my local community?

A: Yes! We’re proud to be part of Plays for New Audience’s Roster! Check out specs here. With flexible cast and band sizes, as well as the ability to do the show with or without puppets, and minimal sets – not to mention the social message and educational lessons of the show – it’s a perfect choice for any school, community, or professional theater group.

 Q: Speaking of licensing, is the sequel RUNAWAY RUE available?

A: Yes, but for now, contact ChineseMotherLLC@gmail.com directly for more information.

Q: Speaking of which, what size is the cast and band?

A: The show is flexible in casting (and not just in size, but in gender-identity and beyond).  The cast can be as small as 6 performers and as large as 14 performers—potentially even more if the ensemble tracks are shared amongst different actors instead of multi-tracked to a core cast.

As for the band, the show is currently orchestrated for a band of 5 (drums, piano, keys, bass, guitar) with doubling. The doubling can be split up in order to have a larger band, as well as performed with a reduced put size (or just piano!) as well. As an alternative, tracks are also available.

Q: Does the show have to be performed with puppets?

A: Not necessarily. If a production chooses to do the musical without puppets, they can do so easily. That said, a set of rental puppets can be made available for interested parties, so no need to build your own set… unless you want to!

 Q: Is the show touring/Can it come to my community (theater, school, library, or otherwise)?

A: We're working on a tour. Please contact us at ChineseMotherLLC@gmail.com if you’ve got requests or leads. We love outreach to communities, performing at adoption days and rescue events, so don’t hesitate. Woof woof!!

Q: Where can I get the storybook and plush?

A: Join our mailing list to be notified when pre-orders begin.
