About this event
One of 11 upcoming events at Hanover Theatre and Conservatory, and 1,981 across Worcester County.
April 7th 2027, 6:00 pm Presented by The Hanover Theatre Conservatory Youth Ballet Company Lions roar, elephants dance, roosters whistle, and fossils clatter in this brilliant version of Carnival of the Animals. (Many people know this music from Disney’s movie Fantasia 2000.) Join us as The Youth Ballet Company interprets humorous animal poems that complement Saint-Saëns’ musical composition through dance. The Tortoise and the Hare, Aesop’s most beloved fable, is set to original music by composer/conductor Stephen Simon. This fun production includes a new adaption of The Tortoise and the Hare story by Bonnie Ward Simon: With his natural talent and new running shoes, Hare is certain that he will win the race. Feeling the hat is in the bag, so to speak, he stops at a little French bistro along the route for some French onion soup. Meanwhile, all the small animals in the forest cheer poor, slow Tortoise along, while Hare, who is way out in front, decides to take a nap… This event is FREE to attend. Ticket reservations requested. RSVP
