Little Red’s Most Unusual Day
January 27th at 1:30 PM
Molino Branch Library
Bring the whole family out to a FREE musical production, designed just for kids at your local library! Performed by our Studio Artists, join us in the forest as we meet some well-loved characters, but in some unexpected ways!
Forest Ranger Dudley is too shy to ask Little Red’s mom, the widow Hood, to the Forest Ranger Ball. For that reason, he leaves a written invitation in a basket of flowers outside Little Red’s house. Unfortunately for Dudley, the basket is delivered to Granny. Granny simply loves men, especially men in uniform. In the resulting confusion, Dudley loses his pants, Granny kisses the Wolf, Mom gets impatient and Little Red gets in trouble. Everyone experiences, in one way or another, a very, very unusual day.
