The Fabulous Fable Factory tells the story of Margot; a 12-year-old girl who wanders into an abandoned factory and accidentally trips a lever activating the living factory of fable creators.  The factory owner, Aloysius A. Aesop, explains that the factory has been idle for 2000 years because it is missing the most important part, a "Moral Maker." This musical adventure follows Margot as she helps the fable makers re-create some of Aesop's most famous fables, such as "The Ant and the Grasshopper," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Lion and the Mouse."  An enjoyable show for the young and the young at heart. The bright and charming songs will intrigue the entire family and the morals will invite thought and discussion.
