Madcap Puppets: Aesop’s Fables
Young Aesop doesn’t get to go out and play ball with his friends because he is being forced to babysit his little sister Xena. Little Xena loves to hear stories, so Aesop needs to get creative! Help Aesop teach his sister life lessons and morals and witness the creation of three famous and funny fables: The Tortoise and the Hare, The Lion and the Mouse, and The Boy who Cried Wolf.
Madcap Puppets
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Madcap Puppets is nationally recognized for engaging and original children’s theatre productions, as well as in-school educational programs that include performances, workshops and residencies.
Children’s learning experiences are enriched with performances based on world literature and cultures, thanks to our partnerships with schools and libraries across the country. Young audiences enjoy the collaborations with orchestras and cultural arts organizations, which allow us to bring a richly textured artistic experience to children and their families. These are powerful partnerships that provide an unforgettable, multi-level arts experience that opens potential for a lifetime of arts appreciation.
Nearly 15 years ago, the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and Madcap Puppet Theatre put their heads together for a Christmas show that combined an originally conceived family theatre production with classical music. The natural compatibility of puppetry and music was obvious, hugely successful, and launched the development of Madcap’s collaborations with arts organizations around the country.
When visiting CCAC by car, please use the shared lot directly behind our building, which can be accessed off of Hosea Ave. The Clifton United Methodist Church’s lot, accessible off of Senator Pl, may be used as overflow and is connected via a few stairs connecting the two lots. We ask that you only use these lots while visiting CCAC or Dewey’s Pizza and move your vehicle before visiting any other locations around the Ludlow Business district.
If these lots are full, you may park along the street in many areas around our building. There are also two paid public lots that can be accessed via Ludlow or Howell Ave and are about a five-minute walk away.
