December 2011 - Aesop’s Fables and A Christmas Surprise by L. Anthony Smith Directed by Larry Smith Performances: Dec 2 - 11, 2011 “Aesop’s Fables and A Christmas Surprise” will feature an all-star cast of youthful actors (and a few adults) who will reenact some of the most famous of Aesop’s Fables. Mr. and Mrs. Aesop will be on hand to introduce and narrate nine of Aesop’s most well known fables while the juvenile actors, many in animal disguises, will bring Aesop’s tales to life. To round out the beginning of the Christmas season, we will follow the journey of the Three Wise Men who are on their way to Bethlehem to witness the birth of the baby Jesus and events along their most famous journey, as they follow the Eastern Star. Aesop’s Fables are well known for their ability to deliver a moral at the end of the fable which serves as a pattern for good people to live a good life. Even today, we cite the morals of Aesop without even knowing it. “Aesop’s Fables and A Christmas Surprise” affords at least 25 of our youthful actors in the community (4th grade through high school) as well as adult male/female roles to take part in a major stage play event for 2011. “Aesop’s Fables and A Christmas Surprise” is a wholesome family-oriented story that will be enjoyed by all. The play will be directed by Larry Smith and Taylor N. Lykins. Click here to view the cast list. |
