Kentwood Players presents this summer's Kentwood Kids production of an original adaptation of “Aesop’s Fables” written by Shirley Hatton, on three Saturdays - August 1, 8, and 15 at 11 AM and 2 PM at the Westchester Playhouse, located at 8301 Hindry Avenue in Westchester.

Several of Aesop’s classic fables get a new twist in this fresh, funny script written by Kentwood Players member Shirley Hatton. The story begins when Aesop announces that he needs his workshop cleaned for the dignitaries that are coming for a visit. While cleaning the workshop, the young apprentices learn lessons that help them along their journey. And with an order-barking boss laying down the rules, these youngsters will need all of the help they can get to reach their goal before the time runs out.

The production is directed by Jordan Bland and assistant directed and produced by Adam Dunberger. Drew Fitzsimmons takes on the backstage role of stage manager. Featured in the cast are Marcy Agreen, Amanda Araque, Colette Araque, Liliana Brown, Madison Browning, Makenzie Browning, Gypsy Foster, Logan Gould, Trinity King, Kobe Kubes, Brittany Lundquist, Victor Mashevsky, Francesca Palermo, Jaren Rhodes, Valerie Ruel, Alan Trapenard – and PUPPETS!

All audience members are invited to meet the cast and enjoy refreshments in the theater lobby after the performance. Parents are welcome to bring a camera for photo opportunities during the after performance reception only. Please note that an adult must accompany all children in the theater.

Tickets are $10.00 with a special family four-pack of seats for $35.00. Please call (310) 645-5156 for reservations Tuesday through Saturday from 4-7 PM. Visa, MasterCard, and Diner’s Club accepted.
