WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The live adaptation of the PBS Kids show “Peg + Cat” will be performed in Loeb Playhouse at 3 p.m. March 3. 

This performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from Barash Law, Old National Bank, Wabash National and Guido Family Dentistry.

This stage adaptation of the Emmy-winning PBS Kids series “Peg + Cat” is fun for the whole family. When Peg’s mom asks Peg and Cat to mail some really important letters for her, they come face to face with a really big dog that becomes a really big problem. To solve it, they’ll need math – bar graphs, size comparison, position words, fair sharing and a whole lot of counting. 

In the Stewart Center lobby before to the show, the College of Education’s math education students will present creative problem solving activities for children. 

Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 18 years and younger, Purdue students and Ivy Tech Lafayette students. Tickets are available at the Stewart Center box office at 765-494-3933 or 800-914-SHOW. Group tickets are also available to groups of 10 more. Call 765-496-1977 for more details or visit https://purdue.edu/convocations/group-sales.
