Based on an African folktale from Malawi, LEOPARD LEARNS A LESSON tells the story of a mother leopard and her son, who have been bullying smaller animals. The leopards learn, along with the audience, that cooperation works better than intimidation. The cast also includes an intellectual elephant, a riddle-telling rhinoceros, two resourceful rabbits, and a clever bee. The show features original music composed by Alison Reid Plante.
