HOODWINKED - PG

Little Red Riding Hood, sweet Granny, a woodsman and a menacing wolf. Integral figures in a classic tale we all know so well…or do we? With a witty twist, this well loved fairy tale is re-told with a strong underlying message about the importance of seeking out the full truth before making conclusions.

Someone has been stealing all of the goodie recipes from the forest snack shops. Who's behind these dastardly deeds and what is their motive? Are the recent happenings at Granny's house evidence that Granny or 'Red' are really evil villains? Nicky Flippers, private eye, is on the case and walks us through this puzzle of a mystery intertwined with the traditional telling of Little Red Riding Hood.

New, delightful characters and an unsolved mystery make for great entertainment for adults and children alike. Plan on an evening of smiles and laughter as well as an opportunity for thoughtful conversation afterwards.
