Grumpuss is an original fantasy adventure told entirely in rhyme and featuring music and sound effects.  (A Grumpuss is not like a dragon,/Rather more like a large, surly cat/With tremendous paws and gigantic claws/And jaws that can crush armor flat!)  Travis Pike gives a storytelling performance that is a sheer delight.  There is also available a second version of Grumpuss (00-9) $24.95) which was an elaborate world premiere containing additional material and a multi-staff performance created especially for the Save the Children foundation.  Both versions are superb entertainments.
