Little Red Riding Hood As Performed by Improvisers

September 5, 2014 by Tony Beeman 2 Comments

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a place. She lived with her mother, who had a funny voice and stirred a comically large invisible pot.

One day, her mother told her to be careful in the woods, because if she strayed from a path, a wolf might eat her.

Before Red could reply, a wolf burst through the door. He strutted about, waving his funny tail, and telling everyone he was hungry in a German accent.

Suddenly, a woodsman, burst it and chopped the wolf in the belly with a cardboard tube he found back stage.

Grandmother, in an effort not to be cut from the story, ran onto stage and leaped out from between the wolf’s legs. She danced around joyfully, singing in a jazzy voice to the scored music.

Little Red Riding Hood struggled to move downstage to say something, but the lights came down.

They all had drinks in the bar happily ever after, except for Red, who secretly worried for hours that she had ruined the whole scene.

    I got busy about 9 months ago and stopped checking my rss aggregator. I decided to get back on the wagon and was delighted to see this post :)
