Created by Manual Cinema, Inspired by the books by Mo Willems, Directed by Sarah Fornace, Adaptation by Sarah Fornace and Drew Dir, Music and Lyrics by Ben Kauffman and Kyle Vegter

Monsters have one job and it’s to be SCARY! “Booga booga booga!” But as hard as he tries, Leonardo can’t scare even a mouse. When the other monsters laugh and make fun of him, Leonardo goes in search of the most scaredy-cat kid in the whole world to try and scare the tuna salad out of him! Nationally acclaimed theatre company Manual Cinema breathes innovative life into this beloved story (and its doubly charming sequel), using hundreds of puppets to magically create a movie before your very eyes. Will Leonardo finally become the scary monster he dreams of being? Or will he discover something even better to be?

Best for younger audiences!
