The Fabulous Fable Factory
The Irving Park Fine Arts Committee will present “The Fabulous Fable Factory,” a children’s musical based on Aesop’s fables, on Saturday, March 9th at 10:00 a.m. “The Fabulous Fable Factory” tells the story of 12-year-old Monroe who wanders into an abandoned factory and accidentally trips a lever activating a living factory of fable creators. This musical adventure follows Monroe as he 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 audience and the morals will invite thought and discussion.
The performance will be held at Irving Park Lutheran Church, 4100 N Harding Ave. The show is free of charge, but donations will be accepted gladly. The performance will be followed by a juice and cookie reception with the actors, hosted by the Irving Park Fine Arts Committee.
