The Three Little Pigs
The Three LIttle Pigs is a fable about three pigs and a Big Bad Wolf. The pigs live in three separate houses, made of straw, sticks and bricks. Terrorized by the Wolf, the pigs finally take a stand together to defend themselves. Many different versions have evolved over the years. Our version is set in the Wild West in the 1800’s.

Little Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood is the famous story about a young girl who outsmarts the Big Bad Wolf. Again, this story appears in many variations throughout Europe, but was standardized in the version told by the Brothers Grimm. In many early versions, it’s a cautionary tale for children. Our adaptation includes a few new twists.
