Kick off Easter weekend with the most infamous trickster rabbit of them all- Brer Rabbit! Not enough bunny for you? Not to worry! We have more bunnies through next week in "The Carrot Salesman" performed by Brad Shur, PST Artist-In-Residence!
About the show: Brer Rabbit is more "April Fool's" than the Easter Bunny, but his antics
are hopping great fun! In this hilarious show by Magical Moonshine Theatre (on
tour from California!), our famous floppy-eared trickster continually tries to
outwit the likes of Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Magical Moonshiner Michael grew up
in Alabama, listening to the tales of Brer Rabbit, filled with lore, wisdom and
shenanigans. In Tales of Brer Rabbit he and wife, Valerie, blend together some
of their favorite folktales, adding a little banjo music and singing to create
a show that is clever fun for children and adults alike.

ABOUT BRER RABBIT TALES:
The tale of the trickster Brer Rabbit originated in African Folklore and then carried on by African slaves in the New World. Once there it acquired attributes of similar Native American tricksters. The legend was popularized in the United Sates in the stories of Joel Chandler in the late 1800’s. The overall theme is a small, weak, but clever ingenious force can overcome a larger, stronger, but dull-witted power. Brer Rabbit continually outsmarts his bigger animal associates, Brer Fox, Brer Wolf, and Brer Bear.
