Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris, The First Cat in Space LIVE!

Join us for an immersive theatrical spectacular with Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris, the authors of The First Cat in Space and the Baby Pirate's Revenge! There will be live music, dramatic performances, and thrilling adventure, all in celebration of the fourth book in the bestselling First Cat in Space graphic novel series. And if you show up dressed as your favorite character from the books, you’ll get a special prize from Shawn & Mac!

This event will take place at the Jeanne d’Arc Auditorium at St. Catherine University and is sponsored by their Masters of Library and Information Science program.

Check In: Doors will open at 5:30pm. At check in, guests will provide the name on their ticket order. They will then receive their pre-signed copy of The First Cat in Space and the Baby Pirate's Revenge and receive a ticket that assigns them to a photo op group.

Photo Op: After the program, guests are invited to take a photo with Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris! Photo op groups will be called up one at a time. These groups are determined by the time of check in at the event.
