Meet two competing friends in this fantastic adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable. Hare is ready to race, but Tortoise has many things to do before it’s the right time. And time moves so slowly! From sun-shining spring to snow-falling winter, the duo go through all four seasons. Does Hare have the patience to wait? When will they actually start the race? With charming characters, live music, and singing, and wonderful physicality, you’ll love this new telling of an old story about opposites and friendship.

LBC performance may not include pieces from above photographs or video.
