I had the pleasure of viewing the The Tortoise,The Hare, and Other Aesop’s Fables at the Center for Puppetry and Arts with my family. The Lion and the Mouse, the Country Mouse and the City Mouse, the Fox and the Crane along with the Ant and the Grasshopper where the other fables featured in the show. This three woman performance (including lighting and sound) is appropriate for children age two and older. My sons are two and three years old and both enjoyed the show immensely. This was their first time attending a puppet show and we weren’t quite sure how they would handle being in the dark, but the colorful costumes, catchy songs and overall interactive story lines kept them so engaged that they soon forgot about the darkness. The 50-minute production was the perfect length for the young audience and the intimate setting allowed even those who are seated in the very back to feel apart of the fun!
