Aesop's Fables

Aesop's Fables
August 8 
 
Living Word Amphitheater
In the bountiful array of children's literature, no author is better known than the Greek story teller, Aesop. A former slave who was physically disfigured and suffered from a speech impediment, Aesop possessed a rear and valuable knowledge; he could read and write. By his wit and cleaver turn of phrase, he was freed by his master and became known for his storytelling. Using animals as characters, he served up life lessons and morals that are still relevant and entertaining today. In this production, Aesop is an old man recalling three of his best-loved stories re-told by a cast of life size puppets-and you! Following the performance Aesop will stay to discuss his animal friends and answer questions.
A comedy written by Madcap Productions adapted from Aesop's Fables.  Showing at 3 p.m.  Running time 45 minutes with Q&A afterwards.  Adults $6, Children 4-12 $4.  Family deal 2 Adults, 2 Children $18.  Information:  740-439-2761 or visit www.livingworddrama.org
