LITTLE RED WALKING HOOD

[music by Lehar, adapted by Denise Paige Caraher]
 

Little Red walks, then runs, right into trouble on her trip through the woods. The wicked Wolf turns on the charm and tries to waltz her away from her common sense, but the stories and advice from the older people in her life pay off in the end. To add to the fun, Granny and her friend Vilia, the fairy wood sprite, get in some high kicks and good licks. As the females unite to subdue the furry felon, Girl Power rules!

The music is from Lehár's The Merry Widow.

The duration of our performance is 50 minutes.
