‘The Dancing Fox: Wisdom Tales From the Middle East’

What can Jews and Arabs agree on? One thing is undisputed: certain stories. The master puppeteer and mask maker Ralph Lee discovered this more than 10 years ago when he was researching separate folklore projects, and one result was “The Dancing Fox,” a 2003 production from his Mettawee River Theater Company. The show, now being revived, uses Mr. Lee’s creations to bring to life five tales from these shared traditions. And yes, foxes, dancing and otherwise, pop up in both cultures.
