Aesop Bops! with Master Storyteller David Gonzalez

Master Storyteller David Gonzalez has a knack for cracking up children and parents at once—his fast-paced physical comedy keeps kids rapt, while his clever wordplay and winking sidebars are comic relief for adults. For Aesop Bops!, Gonzalez reinvents classic fables for contemporary audiences—with fresh takes on old characters like the lion in "The Lion and the Mouse" who happens to be a rapper from the Bronx; the investment-savvy fisherman in "The Fisherman and his Wife," and the trash-talking turtle in "The Turtle's Shell." Accompanied by Daniel Kelly with jazz piano, Gonzalez brings the stories to the stage with song, dance, and a rousing dose of audience participation.

Arrive early for storytelling and Story Tracks in the lobby before and stay for a "Milk & Cookie" Reception with David and Daniel after the show.
