PAST EVENTS

August 19 – 22, 2009

Mini Red Riding Skirt (Chester Theatre School production)

Chester Playhouse, 22 Pleasant Street, Chester, NS
August 19 – 22 7pm, and August 22 at 2pm

It’s a jazzy telling of Little Red Riding Hood, with a twist. Join the animals of the forest and Mini Red as she deals with her identity crisis, Wilfred Wolf as he confronts his lack of self-esteem, and Wilomena’s unrequited love. The kids have been working really hard the last three weeks and the show is looking and sounding fabulous. This is my official reason for being here the past month (I’m musical director for the show) and I’m looking forward to seeing it hit the stage and blossom.
