The Adventures of Tortoise and Hare: The Next Gen
by Lightwire Theater
Grades K-6
Virtual!
The Next Gen features Tortoise Junior and Lil’ Hare in a whole new kind of race with modern hurdles to overcome on the way to the finish line. Ten years after Aesop’s classic characters, the Tortoise and the Hare, have children who are experiencing contemporary distractions. Smart phones and video games create a new landscape of lost connections. Old Man Tortoise and Big Daddy Hare must come together despite their differences to save their children. With dazzling visuals, poignant storytelling, and the creative use of music from classical to pop, this production brings this tale into a new brilliant light.
