Mr. Tortoise and Ms. Hare are holding auditions for a new acting troupe called Aesop's Acting Ensemble. All of the actors are excited to perform the beloved fables, but the pompous acting duo of Dame Patty and Sir Reynard threaten everyone's fun. Will the duo be able to work with the rest of the group as a team? Only the timeless morals of Aesop's tales will help them to make friends and learn their lesson.
鈥淲orking on this show has truly been an honor,鈥 said Director Billy Hobson. 鈥淚 could not begin to compliment my cast enough on the amazing job they have done with helping me bring my vision to life for Aesop's Fables.鈥
鈥淲orking with this cast and crew has truly been an amazing experience,鈥 said cast member Lucas Jones of Milan, Tennessee. 鈥淚 was worried, coming into college, that I wouldn't know anyone or find a group, but I truly feel like I've joined a second family here at 瓜子TV State!鈥
