Summary

A madcap odyssey through a wilderness of corporate bureaucracy and crippling human dependencies. Blessed with the can-do American spirit, a troop of dedicated shoe store employees embark on a journey of personal expansion. But when "work is your life" and systems breakdown, all that remains is you, a casino, and the truth.

“A delight in three acts!” – Time Out New York

“Tin Cat Shoes is a delight in three acts... It's like watching a dandelion puff hit a frying pan. Though the play constantly and deliberately undermines its urgency with silliness, it has a secret coherence from the start – a running commentary on how we overvalue work.” – Time Out New York

“Entertainment that feels custom made for a ‘school's out’ state of mind... It's hard to resist the eccentric top spin these performers put on their lines... Ms. Harnetiaux is following her own System, which involves dismantling our pathetic trust in all systems.” – The New York Times
