Wickety Whack-Brer Rabbit is Back

Many people know about Bugs Bunny, but before Bugs there was Brer Rabbit. Slaves in the American South told a lot of stories about this little rabbit, who even though so small, was usually able to outsmart the bigger & stronger animals by using his head. Telling these tales gave the slaves hope & faith that they too could survive & persevere in the face of their troubles just like Brer Rabbit. You'll hear about Brer Rabbit's plan to save the animals. You'll see what Brer Wolf, Brer Bear, & Brer Bullfrog do to him, when they catch him in one of his tricks. You'll learn about how Brer Fox had a run in with Brer Bear, and how Brer Rabbit got himself tied up & almost lost his skin. Winner of numerous national awards & international acclaim, storyteller Diane Ferlatte, accompanied by Erik Pearson on banjo & guitar, with humor, music & song, bring to these tales a creative imagination & the arts of the theater.
