Simpson Productions presents Aesop’s Fables, April 25-26

Simpson Productions presents Aesop’s Fables. Directed by Ann Woldt, the show opens on April 25 and runs only forty-minutes in Barnum Studio Theatre.

An updated version of four of the timeless storyteller’s most popular fables, Aesop’s Fables is a fast-moving play in which all the scene changes and costume adaptations are done in full view of the audience. As the various actors become the Hare, the Turtle, the Fox, the Crow, or the Donkey in the Lion’s skin, the audience is brought into the action of the play by seeing the change from actor to character and back to actor again.  Four of Aesop’s best-loved fables… ‘The Fox and the Crow,’ ‘The Hare and the Tortoise,’ ‘The Donkey In the Lion’s Skin,’ and finally, ‘The Fox and the Sour Grapes,’ are delightfully created in this interesting approach to storyteller’s theatre.

Performances are in the Blank Performing Arts Center at Simpson College on April 25 at 6:30 p.m. and April 26 at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Free admission for everyone. Reserving your seat is recommended.

The cast will also be touring to Morris Elementary and Lovejoy Elementary schools in addition to the production on campus.
