Winking Kat musical scripts for large and small casts can be customized for your production. We make our scripts easy to follow - with large print for younger actors. These scripts have been performance tested for families and young audiences.
With over thirty tales that we've shared with audiences over the past twenty years, we've now found an easy way to share these fun and colorful stories with you.
Winking Kat Tales is a podcast that brings these stories to life in the form of a musical radio play. We've assembled talented actors and musicians that record each play so you can listen for free in your car, before bed, or during play time anywhere in the world. Each new episode features a new musical story for all ages to enjoy.

WINKING KAT BOOKS
By request, Winking Kat is taking some of its most popular plays and translating them to chapter books and picture books for young readers. These mulit-media books will soon be available.
With so many of us staying home this year, Winking Kat has created a new board/card game for the adults and children over 13 to enjoy. It is called DARK DREAMS. The game is part strategy,
part role playing game, and part ghost story.
Winking Kat is now accepting pre-orders for delivery beginning in October 2020. If you'd like to learn more, we have created a special website just for Dark Dreams. Click here to visit the webpage.
