Tortoise and Hare in The Great Race
Written by Chris Stockton
Directed by TBC
In co-production with Stage West for Kids
Tortoise and Hare have lived near each other their entire lives but they have not always been friends. When Hare makes a mean comment about how fast Tortoise can move, Tortoise gets fed up and challenges Hare to a race around the world. With the help of their friend Fil the fly, the two set out on a great race around the world, complete with all sorts of detours and roadblocks along the way. This original take on the classic Aesop Fable, this musical adventure is for the whole family!
Characters:
- Tortoise – a tortoise. Normally shy but more and more learning that they need to stand up for themselves. Determined but nervous and sometimes too hesitant.
- Hare – a hare. Very outgoing and often doesn’t think before they speak. Overly confident to the point where it can get them in trouble.
- Fil the Fly – a fly. The race organizer. Very trustworthy and organized. A friend to both Tortoise and Hare.
