“Little Red’s Hood” returns to the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park now until April 29.
This is a fresh re-telling of the “Little Red Riding Hood” tale updated with a modern twist.
Little Red is a smart, young city slicker who is too 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. Suitable for children 3 to 9 years old. The production features a dozen handmade marionettes crafted by expert puppeteers.
