Through April 26: It’s one of the most-performed pieces of children’s theater in history, but the basic story behind “Androcles and the Lion” predates even Aesop, who is credited with concretizing the tale of a boy who removes a thorn from a lion’s paw and receives a number of unexpected benefits. The 18-year-old Denver Children’s Theatre is favoring Aurand Harris’ commedia-dell’arte musical version for its latest production, which continues weekly through April 26 for both the public and school groups. Public performances take place at 1 p.m. each Sunday at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center, 350 S. Dahlia St. $10-$12.
