This new musical adaptation of Aesop's familiar fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare", is full of new songs and fun characters.  As in the original story, Hare challenges Tortoise to a race to see who is fastest.  Hare, of course, is confident that he will win so he takes too much for granted and makes some bad decisions.  Tortoise, with the help of her friend and coach, the Hedgehog, stays the course.  As she says, 'one foot in front of the other'.  By being careful, slow, and steady instead of overconfident and impulsive, Tortoise wins the race.  This podcast musical is intended for audiences age 3 to adult.  Cast includes: Adrian Cerrato as Hare, Patricia Haines as Tortoise, Arwen Dewey as Hedgehog, and David Bailey as the Sun and Aesop.  Composer Terence Alaric Levitt is on Keyboard.  Music and Lyrics for this adaptation by P. Haines-Ainsworth.
