'Rooster's Tale' By LAB Theater Project To Close This Weekend

TAMPA, FL — Closing this weekend is "The Rooster’s Tale," a new play by Paula Fell.

Based on “true” events in Medieval England, this riotous play uses timeless humor (with a bit of buffoonery), classic wordplay and a very unlikely event to illustrate one humble family’s path to triumph through some very contemporary problems.

California-based playwright Fell’s previous works have been produced and read in theaters from
coast to coast, including New York, Minneapolis, Santa Fe, and up and down the West Coast. This is her Florida debut.

"The Rooster’s Tale" is directed by long-time Tampa director, actor and teacher Caroline
Jett and features local actors Rick Fernandez, Karena Stanley, Nathan Juliano, Ursula Trasorras, Larry Corwin and Rachel Stidham. LAB founder and technical director Owen Robertson provided the set and lighting design. The sound design was by Rick Anthony and Jillian Rois designed the costumes.

“With a nod to the bawdiness of 'The Canterbury Tales' and a heavy dose of
subversive humor, 'The Rooster’s Tale' addresses the dangers of being different, cancel culture, and how a rooster lays an egg," Fell said.

"The Rooster’s Tale" closes this weekend, March 16-19. Performances are Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Taped performances will also be available on demand from March 16 thru 30. Audience members who purchase on-demand tickets will be emailed a link to the video site. being of our audiences, cast, and crew.

Tickets are available for $32 through LAB's website.
