THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE
Book by Caitlin Lowans & Andrew Barbato
Music and Lyrics by Andrew Barbato & Lesley DeSantis
Based on the fable The Tortoise and the Hare by Aesop
At Creekwood Elementary, the day of the big race is approaching. School bully Harvey Hare has always ruled the roost, but this year, there's a competitor…Tommy Tortoise. Will Tommy win the race, and the new shell that comes with it? Will Cindy the Snail be brave enough to tell Tommy about her feelings? Find out if Harvey will finally learn about the true meaning of friendship, and if Tommy can learn to be happy in his own shell in this contemporary musical version of the familiar tale!
THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE addresses topics relating to: self-confidence and perception, teamwork & friendship, tolerance, and community support.
