THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE

  • A WORLD PREMIERE
  • By DEONDRA KAMAU MEANS
  • Directed by PIPER N. DAVIS

  • AN OFF THE HILL TOURING PLAY

About the Show

A fresh adaptation of the one of the world’s best-known fables! Does slow and steady really win the race? Hare believes that speed is the way to win, while Tortoise believes that consistency is the key. Even though they have been pitted against each other for centuries, Tortoise and Hare will find that the only way to win the race is to work together, using their individual character strengths and teamwork to overcome the obstacles and challenges in their way. This new play with music puts a contemporary spin on a heartwarming and gripping tale for audiences of all ages.
