Unzipping the Cat

3L Theatrics

In 2010, a theatre nerd in Ottawa was feeling lonely and agreed to cat sit for just a couple of months. How hard could it be? What could go wrong? And more importantly, what happens when the cat in question just…never leaves?
A true-life kitty tale about an unexpected pairing, and how a two-month favour turned into a five-year friendship with Winston the Cat. From Kevin Reid, co-creator of Faster than the Speed of Dating and Hannah & George.

  1. Simply told story but with a lot of heart. There were more than a few sniffles by the end. Very touching and relatable – especially if you’ve ever loved a pet.

  2. We very much enjoyed Kevin’s show and storytelling !! A very smoothly-told tale of a 5 yr relationship with Winston the cat ~ and all that en-TAIL-ed !! (LOL) We are both cat-lovers and very much appreciated the “elevating” ending~~!!

  3. An absolutely beautifully done show! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me! The actor takes the audience on a journey of essentially learning to love and pursue the things he loves over his unexpectedly extended cat sitting experience. It brought me to tears by the end of the show. Gentle and mildly paced, but never boring. Well worth the watch!
