EIU Theatre to present 'Aesop's Fables'



CHARLESTON — Eastern Illinois University Theatre returns to the summer youth theater program with performances of “Aesop’s Fables” opening at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

An updated version of six of the timeless storyteller’s most popular fables, “Aesop’s Fables” is a fast-moving play in which all the scene changes and costume adaptations are done in full view of the audience. As the various actors become the Rabbit, the Turtle, the Fox, the Crow or the Donkey in the Lion’s skin, the audience is brought into the action of the play by seeing the change from actor to character and back to actor again.

Six of Aesop’s best-loved fables: “The Fox and the Crow,” “The Hare and the Tortoise,” “The Donkey In the Lion’s Skin” and finally, “The Fox and the Sour Grapes,” “The Fox and the Stork” and “The Northwind and The the Sun,” are created in this interesting approach to storyteller’s theater.

Performances are at 10 a.m. daily, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 20-23 at the Village Theatre, 960 18th St., Charleston.

Tickets are on sale at the Village Theatre Box Office and are $5 each.

Group rates are available. The box office is open from 2 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Phone 581-3110 for ticket information and reservations.
