The greatest actor in the world, Wolfgang, is about to perform his solo “Extravaganza” theatre piece-- but is rudely interrupted by a delivery person with a mysterious package.   Can you imagine delivering a package to the greatest actor in the world and becoming part of the performance? The delivery person dons a red beanie and the show goes on! The two actors tackle all the characters in this fast, funny and surprising retelling of the classic story. This Red is courageous, clever and talented, thwarting any dinner plans a wolf might have. Like an unexpected package, when you open up a fairy tale, you never know what you’re going to find.

Morris likes lots of things: doing puzzles, painting pictures, pretending to be an astronaut, and wearing a tangerine dress from his school’s dress-up box because it “reminds him of tigers, the sun, and his mother’s hair.” But some of his classmates think boys can’t wear dresses. With his vivid imagination and space-animal friends, Morris travels the galaxy in search of an answer to the all-important question: “Do astronauts wear dresses?”
