There was a mouse who had to go on a long journey. She bought a car and started to drive. She drove and drove and drove until her car fell apart. So she bought roller skates, and rolled and rolled and rolled until the wheels feel off. So she bought boots, and tramped and tramped and tramped until there were big holes in her boots. So she bought sneakers, and ran and ran and ran until the sneakers were all worn out. So she took the sneakers off and walked and walked and walked until her feet hurt so much that she could not go on. But at the side of the road, there was a person who was selling feet. So the mouse took off her old feet and put on new ones, and ran until she got where she needed to be. (Homage to Arnold Lobel)

New Feet Productions is dedicated to developing and producing new and classical work that ripples with theatrical language and invention. Jessica Bauman founded New Feet Productions in 2007 in order to develop Into the Hazard (Henry 5), her six actor adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V. In May ’09, New Feet fully produced Into the Hazard (Henry 5) at Walkerspace with sets and lights designed by Tony-winning designer Christopher Akerlind. In 2010, New Feet co-produced Milk by Emily DeVoti with New Georges. New Feet’s production of All Day Suckers by Susan Dworkin was part of the New York International Fringe Festival in August 2010. New Feet has coproduced journalist Jack Hitt’s solo performance Making Up the Truth, directed by Jessica Bauman, which premiered at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven in 2011, and will be featured in the 2012 Spoleto Festival.
