Animal vs. Animal
an Aesop's Fables mashup
Written by Steve Yockey
Directed by Josh Costello
Marin Theatre Company brings live theatre to your school!
Edna and Irwin are the best Aesop's Fables touring team around, but the "animal magic" is starting to wear thin. Can these astoundingly mismatched personalities really survive as a duo? Can stories like The Tortoise & The Hare save the day? Will Edna and Irwin even make it through today's performance?
Aesop’s Fables come to life on stage in your elementary school, in this new adaptation by Steve Yockey, specially commissioned by MTC. Aesop's Fables is on the California Department of Education recommended literature list for reading and language arts. The performance for up to 299 students will be under 45 minutes in length, and can be followed by creative drama workshops with the actors.

"Thank you for arranging the performance of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at our school. It was WONDERFUL! The children were enthralled, as was I. It was the best in-school performance I've ever seen, and I've been teaching a long time! Thank you, so much, for making it possible for our fourth-sixth graders to see this thoroughly engaging piece."
"I just wanted to take this time to tell you how wonderful the show was today. The students and staff were so impressed with the actors and the production design. They were just such a pleasure to watch. You guys are such a great addition to the Marin County theatre scene, especially your support and service to educators. I look forward to your next offering."
"The performance was entertaining and educational for both students and teachers. It's good when you can get folks laughing so much they hardly notice they are learning."
