The Tortoise and The Hare
Speedy the Hare keeps teasing Sal the Tortoise because Sal is slower than Speedy. So Sal decides there's only one solution: to beat Speedy in a race. But how? Sal discovers that instead of worrying about what he isn't, he can build on what he is. Sal is steady. Sal is focused and determined. Sal can train hard. And in the end, Sal discovers that being a winner is about much more than who crosses the finish line first. This is a 30-minute mini play followed by a 10-15 minute activity session.

The intended outcome of the performing arts program is to allow patrons the opportunity to experience different genres of theater in a wide variety of venues. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.
Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 93% strongly agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 91% strongly agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: "I love CLIMB Theater" "They really know how to involve children" "I learned that my kids seem to really enjoy theater." "They did a great job of acting out the characters and having children also in the play."
25 libraries provided space (1 partnered for a program to be held at a senior center), staff, and additional promotion for the programs and approximately 17 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
