There are 6 delightful fables included in this musical which include the following: ‘The Donkey in the Lion’s Skin’, ‘The Clever Dog’, ‘The Fox and the Crow’, ‘The Wind and the Sun’, ‘The Old Lion’, and ‘The Rose and the Butterfly’.

The music in this production of Aesop’s Fables was first performed at the Boston Center for the Arts in 1993 by adults for a multi-age audience. Both the music and the script in this version keep the audience chuckling throughout and give them the rare opportunity to see what happens during set changes allowing them a glimpse into what occurs behind the scenes of a show. The diversity of roles gives many performers an opportunity to shine in lead speaking roles and singing parts. The varied musical styles of each fable promise to lift the spirits of both the cast and the audience and keep everyone dancing even after the show is over. At the beginning of the script you will find the director’s notes which include notes on the production, costumes, ideas for the set and needed stage props.
