The Fabulous Fable Factory

The Fabulous Fable Factory Saturday, March 9th, 10:00 a.m. Irving Park Lutheran Church 4100 N. Harding Ave. “The Fabulous Fable Factory” tells the story of 12-year-old Monroe who wanders into an abandoned factory and accidentally trips a lever activating a living factory of fable creators. This musical adventure follows Monroe as he helps the fable makers re-create some of Aesop’s most famous fables, such as “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” “The Tortoise and the Hare,” and “The Lion and the Mouse.” An enjoyable show for the young and the young at heart, the bright and charming songs will intrigue the audience and the morals will invite thought and discussion.
