‘Little Red’s Hood’

She’s hip, she’s cool, and she’s at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park. “Little Red’s Hood” is running from Feb. 2 to April 29.

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.

This fresh re-telling of the classic tale is just right for city-slicker kids ages 3 to 9 years old.

“Little Red’s Hood,” Feb. 2 through April 29; Tuesdays through Fridays at 10:30 am and noon; Saturdays and Sundays at 1 pm; after March 2 an additional show is added to Wednesdays at 2:30 pm. There will be special hours the weeks of Feb. 15–19 and again April 25–29 with added performances at 11 am and 1 pm on Fridays. Tickets are $10 and $7 for children under 12 years old.
