Hamzy

Hamzy is a hamster.  He is also an actor.  And quite a good one, too, coming from a long line of actors staging plays out of the Arch Street Theatre.  He loves the stage, but more he loves to watch the motion pictures that humans show in the parks on Saturday nights.   Such magic, romance, and adventure.  But the real adventure doesn’t begin until Hamzy joins a traveling show and winds up in Kansas, that mystical movie land of a little dog’s encounters with twisters, lions and flying monkeys.  Hamzy is quite daring during the great petting zoo jail break.

Later he rediscovers the thrill of performing in a magic theater, and finds courage leading his band to save the theater from Mr. Peterson’s wrecking ball.  But most of all Hamzy finds himself.
