The Pout-Pout Fish
Student MatineePresented by TheatreWorks USA

Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!

For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth.

But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration.

Experience Mechanics Hall

Mechanics Hall is not just where the event takes place. It is part of the experience. For many guests, the draw is not only the performer or program but also the opportunity to enjoy live music in a space with architectural character, strong acoustics, and a long cultural history in Worcester. What's more, Mechanics Hall is conveniently located within walking distance from many downtown locations including restaurants and bars.

Accessibility

Accessible Entrance
The barrier-free entrance to the building is located on Waldo Street. Elevators are located in the ground-floor lobby and provide access to the second and third floors. There is no elevator access to the Great Hall balcony.

Accessible Halls
All of our halls are wheelchair-accessible, where patrons can remain in their wheelchairs or transfer to theater seats. Patrons who cannot or do not wish to transfer from their wheelchairs to a theater seat should request wheelchair-seat locations when ordering tickets. The Great Hall balcony is not wheel-chair accessible.

Reviews of Mechanics Hall

…the weight of the history, art and music.

Walking into this concert felt very special, the magnificent stairs, and the red carpet leading up to the concert Hall...itself has been decorated with lots of paintings of significance...

…the very best acoustics.

Highly recommend going there for a concert and some it's very similar to Symphany Hall in Boston there are no bad seats. We have been there twice with the last time seeing the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra

MW
What a wonderful way to enjoy the works of Edgar Allen Poe!

Dress for the spirit of the event. We had a lot of fun, the actors brought these stories to life through their amazing story telling! Highly recommend attending!

Beautiful venue for great shows.

Hard to think of this amazing architecture in the heart of Worcester - it could be in any city around the world. The staff was so friendly and professional. I felt like I was stepping back into another year, very charming and elegant.
