Ever wonder what really goes on at the Happiest Place on Earth? This solo show chronicling the life of a costumed character answers this and other burning questions like, "Is it hot in there?", "Where do you see out of?" and "What kind of underwear does Mickey wear under there? Playwright and performer Trevor Allen spent a few years in Southern California playing Pluto, Captain Smee, the Mad Hatter and other characters in his height range on his quest for voice clearance and his dream of becoming Peter Pan. He recounts his tales of backstage debauchery, militant managers and his quirky coworkers in this unique coming of age tale that blows pixie dust in your eyes while offering a glimpse behind the ears of the Magic Kingdom. This play was voted Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival and went on to play to sold-out houses and critical acclaim in Berkeley and San Francisco.
