Skippyjon Jones
Newmark Theatre
1111 SW Broadway Portland
MEET SKIPPYJON, a Siamese cat who thinks he's one of the birds. He enjoys sleeping in their nest, sharing their breakfast of worms, and bathing in Mrs. Doohiggy's birdbath. In frustration, Mama Junebug Jones sends him to his room to ponder what it means to be a Siamese cat. Instead, Skippyjon discovers his alter ego - "El Skippito" - a superhero Chihuahua. Clothed in a green cape and mask, he sets off into his closet and emerges in far, far away Mexico for a rip-roaring musical adventure.
Presented by Oregon Children's Theatre

Review Round-Up
| Portland Stage Reviews - Recommended
"...I obviously know nothing and am an old fuddy-duddy. I saw a less-than-3-year-old staring at the stage the entire time. My 9 and 10 year old were howling at the puns from the game show. I saw children pouring back out of the theatre with huge grins on their faces, making a line to meet the actors in record time."

"...There are some wonderful moments in this production, chief among them is Sharinghousen as all three guests on the Quiz Show, such as the street-smart, Scar, and the prissy Princess and Sir Mew-Mew, the audacious feline star of stage and screen. He is also the chief villain in Closet-land and his outfit you have to see to believe. All in all, he pretty much lights up the stage even more when he’s on. Another highlight is Valentine’s remarkable singing voice, quite a treat. And Tebo, as the main attraction, is very pleasant to watch and does nicely in the musical numbers. He was exceptional a couple seasons back as Peter Pan at NW Children’s Theatre."
