Because you can not always go to the theater, we bring theater to you! In the manner that local school audiences throughout the valley and beyond have come to know and enjoy, CPP offers our 12th touring show.
SYNOPSIS AND LESSONS
This original, light-hearted, modern adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood has Red encountering many other known characters from other fairy tales while traveling to see her grandmother who lives deep in the woods. They all have one thing in common - The Big Bad Wolf who constantly bullies them and makes their lives miserable. The characters, many of whom will be played by student participants from the school itself, will bring to life their simple yet classic tales while highlighting a powerful set of messages about tolerance, acceptance, and anti-bullying. Audiences of all ages will be involved and entertained while learning valuable lessons from this expanded tale.
