SUMMER STOCK 2010


Big Bad Wolf
(and how he got that way)
July 16th - July 25th




A comedy with music

Written by a Mercer Island playwright Greg Palmer, this is a comedy in defense of the wolf, presented in English Panto style, which mixes fairy tales, puns, cross-dressed characters, magical transformations, and extreme silliness. With a plot that borrows from The Three Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and even Frankenstein, the pigs are shown to be the real culprits. Accentuated with bluesy music, this show is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
