All performances will be held in the Horton Foote Theatre in the Duson-Hansen Fine Arts Building on the Wharton campus. Tickets are $5.

The basic scenario is as follows – Mr. Tortoise and Ms. Hare are holding auditions for a new acting troupe called Aesop’s Acting Ensemble. All of the actors are excited to perform the beloved fables, but the pompous acting duo of Dame Patty and Sir Reynard threaten everyone’s fun. Will the duo be able to work with the rest of the group as a team? Only the timeless morals of Aesop’s tales will help them to make friends and learn their lesson.
