The Circuit Playhouse Presents Aesop’s Fable-ous Christmas Tree 12/3-18

By:

Aesop's Fable-ous Christmas Tree by Michael Gravois plays December 3 - December 18, 2011.

When Aesop is given a Christmas spin, you'll find six birds a‘racing (a la The Tortoise and the Hare) and eight reindeer learning that "necessity is the mother of invention." A dozen vignettes feature all of your favorite Christmas characters and blend humor, rhythmic elements, rapping, puppetry, poetry, song, and storytelling to create a fast-paced, fun-filled show that will delight the child in everyone.

Aesop's Fable-ous Christmas Tree is written and directed by Resident Company Member Michael Gravois and features The Playhouse on the Square Theatre for Youth Touring Company.

Aesop's Fable-ous Christmas Tree runs at The Circuit Playhouse, December 3 - December 18, Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm. The Pay-What-You-Can performance is Sunday, December 4th. The Circuit Playhouse is located at 51 S. Cooper St. in Midtown. For more information or to make reservations, please call 901-726-4656.
