Red Riding Hood: Children’s Theatre Camp

Presented by Arts Foundation Federal Way with support from 4Culture and the Federal Way PAEC

Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house she goes… but not without a few detours along the way! Red Riding Hood is the latest whimsical adventure from the Missoula Children’s Theatre. This reimagined tale follows a not-so-little Red and her pre-teen pals as they try to stay on the straight and narrow path. With guidance from a friendly Forest Ranger and the not-so-bad Big Bad Wolf, Red and her crew must avoid the Shadows and navigate unexpected surprises deep in the woods. Along the way, they’ll encounter a too-good-to-be-true Woodsman, a trio of familiar Pigs, a mischievous pack of young wolves, and even a Locksmith with the key to more than just doors. Throw in some rascally Raccoons and a Boy Who Cries—you guessed it—and you’ve got a wild ride full of fun and discovery. With help from her quirky family, Red finds Grandma—and herself. Just don’t ask about the missing picnic basket.
