Theatre Northeast, the student theatre group of Northeast Texas Community College, will present its annual Children?s Play December 3 and 4 on the main stage of the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts. This year they will perform Aesop?s (Oh So Slightly) Updated Fables by Kim Esop-Wylie and Aesop.
This short play weaves five of Aesop's most famous fables- The Dog and the Bone; The Tortoise and the Hare; The Lion and the Mouse; The Fox and the Grapes; The Miller, His Son and the Donkey, and The Country Maid- into a show that's fun, fast-paced, and full of surprises. With a cast of 13 NTCC students, Aesop?s timeless tales of morals and common sense come to life on the Whatley Main Stage.
The cast includes Aaron Franks, David Hullett, Benjamin Ruland, Alyssa Saunders, Chad Kennedy, Elizabeth Taraba of Pittsburg; Francisco Arroyo and Alyson Cortez of Mount Pleasant; Nathan Johnson of Mount Vernon; Hannah Dove of Atlanta; Chris Smith of Daingerfield; Alex Plunkett of Gilmer; and Celina Singer of Immensee, Switzerland.
