Little Red Riding Hood
by Children's International Puppet Festival

May. 11 - May. 12, 2015
Monday-Tuesday

When Little Red finds the wolf disguised in her Grandmother’s clothes, she uses her self-defense moves to teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget!   

 
The telling of this classic tale comes with a very contemporary twist from PAUL MESNER PUPPETS of Kansas City, Missouri.  The goal is to have fun and laugh often.   Paul Mesner Puppets brings to the fore some quirky and unusual detail of this oft told story.  These variations offer vivid glimpses into our rich cultural heritage and a different approach to the story we all know-or think we know-so well. 

Paul Mesner has worked as a puppeteer for more than 30 years.  He was chosen as one of fifteen pupeet-artists from around the world to study with master puppeteers at the International Institute of Puppetry in Charleville-Mezieres.  In 1992 Pal received the highest honor in puppetry, the UNIMA/USA Citation of Excellence in Puppetry.  An Award created by Jim Henson.            

Ages 3 and up.
