RED RIDING HOOD

SEPTEMBER 27 – OCTOBER 12

By Allison Gregory

When Wolfgang, the “greatest actor in the world,” sets out to perform his one-man version of the Red Riding Hood story, he’s interrupted by a delivery driver with a mysterious package and plenty of opinions about how the story should go. Together, they jump into a fast and funny retelling of the classic fairy tale, playing every role and discovering unexpected surprises along the way. This clever, energetic, family-friendly show celebrates courage, bravery, and the strength that comes from working together.
