Fables is a joyful and jazzy take on Aesop’s famous fables! We spend one day in the forest where we meet ROOSTER and DOG, ready for an adventure; SUN and WIND, who heal old wounds; FROG and RABBIT who learn they have a lot in common; several stubborn GOATS who discover a new perspective; ANT and GRASSHOPPER who learn to work together; FOX and CROW who wrestle with selfishness; and MOUSE and LION who overcome society’s expectations and become friends despite their different backgrounds. This show is appropriate for all ages – children are very welcome!
