Enjoy Aesop's Fables Like Never Before

The East Lyme Puppetry Project presents "Aesop's Fables" at the East Lyme Community Center on Father's Day.

The East Lyme Puppetry Project will host a Sparky's Puppets presentation of "Aesop's Fables" at the East Lyme Community Center on June 19th.

See a timid mouse rescue a fierce lion in "The Lion and the Mouse". Sing along with "The Grasshopper and the Ant". Meet "The Country Mouse and the City Mouse". Route for your favorite critter in "The Tortoise and the Hare", and see what happens when a boy cries "Wolf!" too many times.

Award-winning Rhode Island puppeteer Sparky Davis retells each ancient tale with beautiful, handcrafted "characters". Enjoy lively humor and plenty of audience participation during the special Father's Day performance.
