“Revolt of the Beavers,” the season opener for University Theatre, turns the phrase “busy as a beaver” into a singing, dancing socialist parable for kids.
“The Revolt of the Beavers” succeeds in being educational, fun and high-energy, woven around lessons about conservation, teamwork and social responsibility. With 8 and 9-year-old protagonists, itâ??s aimed at elementary through middle school students, but the “Beavers” serve food for thought for grown-ups, too.
