While Charles Perrault’s original 17^th-century tale of Little Red Riding Hood featured a Big Bad Wolf, DCPA Education’s Little Red adaptation by Chad Henry is anything but scary. In fact, this tale, running through December 23, shows the young girl befriending all woodland creatures including the lost wolf.

It seems fitting, then, that the DCPA would also befriend its local partners to expand and enrich this play well beyond the stage. A special word of thanks to the following organizations for their participation.

PRE-SHOW WITH THE DENVER MUSEUM OF NATURE & SCIENCE
DCPA Education Studio 8
Newman Center for Theatre Education at 1101 13^th St., 3^rd Fl.

Little tykes who attend a performance of Little Red on November 18 have an opportunity to join the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for pre-show activities. Kids will understand what to look for when tracking an animal, get to feel various animal hides and participate in other interactive activities. Free with a ticket to the 1:30pm or 3:30pm showtimes.
