Photo Flash: Marriott Theatre's HOW CAN YOU RUN WITH A SHELL ON YOUR BACK
By: Nicole Rosky Mar. 04, 2011
The hit children's musical HOW CAN YOU RUN WITH A SHELL ON YOUR BACK? runs March 3rd through May 22nd at The Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences; 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire, IL. Inspired by four of Aesop's classic fables, "Androcles and the Lion," "The Ant and the Grasshopper," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "The Tortoise and the Hare," HOW CAN YOU RUN WITH A SHELL ON YOUR BACK? rediscovers these fables through the eyes of today's youth. The production will be Directed by Dominic Missimi with Music Direction by Ryan Nelson.
Throughout the course of the story, the six wildly different students - ranging from the "jock" to the "nerd" - not only learn the valuable lessons in the fables, but also how important individuality and friendship are. Guided by the magical Sopperstein and the incredible music of Mahler and Schmuckler, the classic tales become relevant and fun for children of all ages.
