A Walk in the Woods
Gypsies and witches and bears, oh my!!
Lots of dangers are lurking the woods, but there’s safety in numbers. Too bad our heroes don’t realize that, or they would not find themselves in so much trouble when they all go for a walk in the woods. The tales of Goldilocks, the Three Bears, Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs, and Hansel and Gretel are all blended into one show!
Goldilocks, forest-savvy from having to survive in the woods without a family, is on the run from the Three Bears; but takes time to help Red Riding Hood, who is leery of her stepmother’s motivation in sending her out into the woods at dusk with a basket full of food and a bright red cloak. Along the way, they are saved by the Woodsman (who also happens to be Hansel and Gretel’s father) and from the zany Wolf (the same canine who plagues the Three Little Pigs). By the time the villagers near Grimm’s Woods get involved, including Jack Horner, the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker, this fractured fairy tale is sure to be a family favorite!
This play will be presented at the Royal off the Square Theatre at 121 W. Walnut St. in Brownstown at 7:30 pm on July 8th and 9th, and at 2:30 pm on July 10th. Tickets are available online via the ticket link at www.jcct.org.
