Aesop's Fables

Red Herring Puppets was awarded an UNIMA citation of excellence (the highest honor in American puppetry) for its production of Aesop's Fables. It is an original, rhymed version of the classic tales, told with original music by Cathy Riley and large table top puppets. These timeless stories are simple to understand and address topics relevant to school age children such as bullying, selfishness, competition, ingenuity, and the affirmation that little beings can achieve great things.

The show is designed for pre-K through 5th grade and includes The Lion and the Mouse, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Owl and the Grasshopper, The Fox and the Crow, The Crow and the Pitcher, and The Stork and the Fox.
