Mr. Hatch lives a colorless, ordered life. He goes to work at the shoelace factory, eats his lunch alone, reads the paper, and then goes to bedโฆ early. Until, one Valentineโs Day he receives the biggest surprise of his life, a candy-filled heart with a note that whispers โSomebody loves youโ.
This heartwarming puppet play from Vancouver-based Axis Theatre Company examines the effect that kindness can have on a lonely existence. Join washerwomen Betsy, Edna, and Molly as they bring Mr. Hatchโs story to life and help him search for his secret admirer!
