‘Tortoise and Hare’ Comes to Austin

ZACH Theatre is proud to announce the cast for the musical Tortoise and Hare, the 2018-19 season opener for ZACH’s Moody Foundation Theatre for Families series. Based on the story by Aesop, featuring music and lyrics by Allen Robertson and book by Allen Robertson and Damon Brown, Tortoise and Hare plays The Kleberg at ZACH, now through January 27, 2019 under the direction of Nat Miller with musical direction by Allen Robertson.

Ancient versus modern. Peace versus war. Reptile versus mammal. A tale of the ultimate culture clash between two tribes and a fantastical race to decide their fate. Written by the talented Allen Robertson and Damon Brown, with modern music and energetic re-imagining of the ancient fable that will delight turtles and hares of all ages!
