'The Fabulous Fable Factory' Sequel At Actors' Playhouse

Actors' Playhouse Continues Fun and Learning with
THE FANTASTIC RETURN OF THE FABULOUS FABLE FACTORY

Actors' Playhouse Musical Theatre for Young Audiences presents the sequel to the popular The Fabulous Fable Factory, aptly named The Fantastic Return of the Fabulous Fable Factory,live on stage October 4-27, 2007.
 
In this new musical sequel, Mr. Aesop and his colorful collection of factory parts are back again, with more fables and songs to delight and enchant. As the story continues, we find Aesop's group still searching for a permanent moral maker. The 2,000-year-old factory attempts to return to the spot where it landed 30 years ago and tries reconnect with its first temporary moral maker, Margot. Many surprises await Aesop's factory as they travel through time to encounter a much different world than before. This charming show includes five new exciting fables and an equal number of lively songs for the entire family to enjoy.
 
"Kids will love the ease at which the actors magically become a new character simply by adding a costume piece or picking up a prop. With each new fable, the audience, both young and old, will laugh hysterically and not even realize they are discovering some valuable life lessons along the way," said Children's Director Earl Maulding.
 
Written by Joseph Robinette, music is by Thomas Tierney and lyrics by Thomas Tierney and Joseph Robinette.
 
Joseph Robinette is the author of 51 published plays and musicals, including the adaptation of the classic children's novel, Charlotte's Web.
