Two tales rolled into one! This show mixes a pair of well-loved classic tales to create an original, fun-filled romp through fairy tales. Join Little Red as she pursues a mischievous gingerbread cookie through the woods to Grandma's house. Original music, snowy scenery, and everyone's favorite Big Bad Wolf are all part of this seasonal double delight.

About the Artist: Barefoot Puppet Theatre has been building and performing original works since 1997 when founder and director, Heidi Rugg, began building puppet shows from the basement of her home in Richmond, Virginia. The company has since grown significantly and now tours nationally, while continuing to create new works for young audiences and their families. The mission of Barefoot Puppets is simple: to activate imaginations through the power of puppetry! To learn more, visit them online at: barefootpuppets.com.
The 2024-2025 Discovery Theater Season is made possible by a generous grant from the Nora Roberts Foundation
Please check back! The Learning Guide should be posted at least 2 weeks before the show.
