Based on the Celebrated “Little Red Riding Hood” fairy tale
City Parks Foundation is proud to announce the beginning of its newest PuppetMobile production,
Little Red’s Hood debuting April 22, 2013 at the Brownsville Recreation Center in Brooklyn, NY.
Little Red’s Hood is a fresh retelling of the classic “Little
Red Riding Hood” tale updated with a modern sensibility that will appeal
to kids. The production features a dozen, hand-made marionettes crafted
by the expert puppeteers from the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater.
Like

is to focused on her smartphone to notice her surroundings. Wulfric is a
misunderstood wolf with a sweet tooth. When Little Red travels from New
York City to the country to deliver some cupcakes to her Grandma, she
encounters a colorful cast of characters as Wulfric the Wolf tries to
head her off at the pass.
Little Red’s Hood is directed by Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre's Artistic Director Bruce Cannon and written by Liam Hurley.
