Aesop's (Oh So Slightly Updated) Fables by Kim Esop-Wiley

A comedy for all ages, "Aesop's (oh so slightly updated) Fables" features Lakeside's 1st time performing "in the round," where the audience is seated on risers above the performers as they act out new takes on familiar stories. With the assistance of a mattress, ladder, feather boas, a vintage video camera and more, It's a brief but enthusiastic dose of corny jokes, slapstick falls and other entertaining teenage behavior!

Fables up for retelling include:

Dog & the Bone
Tortoise & the Hare
Lion & the Mouse
Fox & the Grapes
Miller, His Son & the Donkey
Country Maid

“Aesop's (Oh So Slightly) Updated Fables” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Save the Date for our Spring Production: April 24-26

The Lakeside Lutheran Theatre Department nurtures and develops the God-given gifts of students both in front and behind the curtain. Dozens of students can be involved in this co-curricular, whether as actors, costumers, set builders, artists, videographers or audio technicians.

The department currently offers children's theatre in the fall and a play or musical each spring. Auditions begin early in second semester and performances run the last weekend in April.

Why theatre instead of theater? The words are interchangeable, but one school of thought suggests theater is a place, while theatre is the art form. So Theatre it is!
