The Great Cross-Country Race
3/6/2026 - 3/15/2026

Adapted by Alan Broadhurst
Directed by Jess Libby

Experience the joy of this charming English play, a lively romp featuring animals with human traits. Watch as during Sports Day, the swift hare avoids races with the slow tortoise, getting distracted by picnics, poachers, and spying on couples—culminating in a hilarious scene on a clothesline. With lovable characters and profound comedic performances, this show is perfect for both young and adult audiences.

The show runs around 85 min and includes a 15-minute intermission.

The Great Cross-Country Race is produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
