Two unlikely friends — the speedy, confident Hare and the calm, steady Tortoise — meet for the greatest race on Earth. A race filled with suspense, surprises, and a nail-biting, medal-winning finish. Ready… Steady… Is it time to GO? This playful and imaginative adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable is brought to life on stage in a vibrant performance. With three talented actors-musicians and a whole lot of energy, the story unfolds across the seasons — from the blossoming days of sunny spring through to the icy sparkle of winter. This heartwarming tale explores patience, friendship, and what it means to grow up.
