This bright new stage adaptation of three of Aesop's delightful fables will enthrall young audiences everywhere!  Aesop himself introduces his own fables, each teaching a valuable lesson, of course.  In The Lion and the Mouse, not only does Lion discover that Mouse enjoys Shakespeare as much as he does, but also that you can always be helpful, no matter what your size.  The wonderful Dog In the Manger humorously demonstrates that selfishness and false praise do not lead you down the road to success.  In the final tale, The Ant and the Grasshoppers, Aesop emphasizes the importance of thinking ahead.  The flexible cast can be as few as 5 actors or as many as 13 and can be performed by children, adults or both.  Costuming can be as simple or elaborate as desired, with suggestive touches included in the script.  The show offers opportunities for touring, as well.  Join in the fun and spread the famed wisdom of Aesop to your audiences today.
