Monkeys and turtles and coyotes — oh, my!
Introduce your young audiences to tales from around the world with this creative collection of six different animal stories. There’s something for everyone in these delightful stories, told by six storytellers who narrate each tale while other actors don simple animal costumes onstage to act out the short scenes.
This whimsical children’s play can be performed by an ensemble of as few as six savvy actors, or by young kids for kids, with as many as 39 small roles all under 20 lines, so everyone can be included. Representational sets and costumes encourage audiences to use their imaginations, and the option to present as few as three stories allows for a shorter running time. Easy to tour and flexible in both the cast size and the running time, this collection of short fables is ideal for any theatre group performing for young audiences. They will be all ears with these timeless “tails!”

I did this show for a summer theater camp, and it was perfect! It allowed us to make simple headbands for the ‘costumes’ and was lots of fun! We did it with no set at all, only props. Great fun! Laura Williams, Christian Collegiate Academy, Gulfport, MS
