In het land waar Jan Klaasen Katrijn alleen met een luchtballonnetje in elkaar mag slaan, omdat een poppenkastknuppelpartij niet goed is voor de tere kinderziel, blijkt onverwacht veel vraag naar Nederlands professioneel jeugdtheater. Kortom, een heus Nederlands jeugdtheaterfestival in New York heeft inmiddels al 2500 kaarten verkocht, en het loopt nog steeds storm. Van zeker twee van de vier producties…
