Ages 13 - 18 Being a member of a traveling company is a great way to grow as an actor and as part of an ensemble. This year, Raleigh Little Theatre presents Red Vs. the Wolf by Judy Wolfman. We've all heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood. But how often has it been told from the Wolf's point of view? This kind, sensitive wolf is upset, for he has been criticized by society because of a story that has been repeated to generations of children. He is determined to tell the story as it really happened, of the true nature of Red Riding Hood and his own good intentions. This hilarious story will show your audience that there are two sides to everything. Entrance is by audition only. Limit 10 students.
