Little Red Riding Hood and the 3 Little Pigs

This puppet production brings together the familiar stories of Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs, connected by a shared question: could the Big Bad Wolf in both tales actually be the same character? The show explores whether the wolf has been misunderstood—and whether he is truly as big and bad as everyone believes.

Directed by Danny Pushkin, the production features Lee Gerstenhaber, Mollie Greenberg James, and Brigid Wallace Harper, with Andrew Quilpa as swing. It is designed for young audiences and runs for approximately 45 minutes.
