Pushcart Players Presents "Red Riding Hood and Other Stories"

originally published: 03/03/2015

Pushcart Players Presents "Red Riding Hood and Other Stories"Pushcart Players, New Jersey’s award-winning touring theater for young audiences presents free performances of “Red Riding Hood and Other Stories” during March throughout Ocean County Libraries in Little Egg Harbor, Manchester, Woodbury and Point Pleasant, NJ.

The production is sponsored by NJ Theatre Alliance’s Stages Festival, a month-long presentation of free and discounted performances, workshops and other events at New Jersey’s professional theaters, libraries, senior centers, and other non-traditional performance venues.

“Red Riding Hood and Other Stories” is an enchanting collection of classic tales. ‘The Princess and the Pea,’ ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes,’ ‘All’s Well That Ends Well,’ and the title piece, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ make for a fast-paced production. Infused with lively musical numbers and brimming with humor, the production offers an opportunity to discuss values, ethics and moral considerations in a relevant and accessible platform.

“These time-honored fables provide a perfect introduction to live theater for young viewers,” said Ruth Fost, Pushcart’s co-founder and playwright / lyricist for the production. “We’ve dressed the stories with a twinkle, a grin and a contemporary spin!”

The cast includes: Oscar Castillo, Stacie Gogo, Christina Gordon, JD Lynch and Phebe Taylor. Paul Whelihan directs the production. Choreography is by Susie Paplow.
