Aesop's Fables

Dakota Stage Ltd. is proud to present Aesop's Fables, a FREE, fun, family show featuring all your favorite tall tales! Conceived by a creative team comprised entirely of hardworking, dedicated young people learning their technical and design crafts, and further developed by the same group of youth exploring and employing the techniques of voice, movement and character work, all brought to life by a true collaboration of creativity and imagination, Aesop's Fables will enchant and entertain with these colorful, classic stories for children. This unique version of 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 Rabbit, 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. Dakota Stage Ltd. will hold its run of Shade Tree Player's Aesop's Fables at various dates, times and outdoor locations throughout Bismarck, Mandan and Lincoln. The complete schedule of shows is below and each performance is FREE and open to the public. Perfect for small children with big imaginations! For more information visit www.shadetreeplayers.com.
