Music by Misha V. Stefanuk
words by Evan Marie Dozier-Stefanuk and Misha V. Stefanuk

So, we all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, right? Well, Wolf tells it a different way. In this opera, written by Wolf, the audience gets to hear the story from her perspective. She is out to set the record straight and has dragged Red and Grandma with her.

In this production, we find out that Wolf has had the dream of being a great opera diva. To reach her goal, she has written an opera starring herself, Red and Grandma. The three, along with their pianist, are traveling to New York City to propose Wolf's opera to the maestro at The Metropolitan Opera for their next season. They get lost along the way and end up in a school auditorium, surrounded by an audience of children who were waiting for a "different" show to begin. Since they are already there, one of the children suggests that they perform Wolf's opera for the school instead, right then and there. So they do!

The children learn about some of the different aspects of opera while they hear funny dialogue between the three comical characters. They also get to hear some wonderful singing, albeit through again a comical approach. Wolf, Red and Grandma tell the "true" tale of their relationships through a number of musical pieces Wolf has composed and arranged for them.

The True Story of Wolf and Red Riding Hood is a wonderful show for children and adults of all ages! We will have a performance open to the public on Saturday, March 14 at 5:00 PM at Winters Chapel United Methodist Church: 5105 Winters Chapel Road Atlanta, GA 30360 (770) 396-4550
