by Elliot Lanes - April 30, 2026

I honestly think there is something in the water at Glen Echo Park because Adventure Theatre MTC is now four for four this season with their latest production Aesop’s Fables. This show is fast paced, well-acted, well- directed, and most importantly, educates as well as entertains....
