Magik Theatre’s Fresh Take on Red Riding Hood Opens September 27
Once upon a time, there was a little girl and a big, bad wolf. But make the girl a feisty delivery driver, give the wolf an ego bigger than his howl, and you’ve got Magik Theatre’s howlingly hilarious, deliciously fresh Red Riding Hood, opening Saturday, September 27, 2025. (Magik Theatre, 2025)
A Story with a Twist
Wolfgang, the self-proclaimed “greatest actor in the world,” sets out to perform his one-man version of Red Riding Hood. But his plans are interrupted by a girl with a mysterious package—and plenty of opinions about how the story should go.
Together, they leap into playwright Allison Gregory’s clever retelling, playing every role and uncovering surprises along the way. Perfect for ages 5 and up, this production celebrates courage, teamwork, and the joy of storytelling.
Not Your Typical Big Bad Wolf
This isn’t the scary, Grandma-eating wolf you know. Wolfgang just wants to deliver a great performance—but his unexpected co-star has some notes. With her perspective, Wolfgang discovers new ways to bring the fairy tale to life, transforming everyday objects into imaginative props and costumes right before the audience’s eyes.
Behind the Scenes
This production also marks Devon Moreno’s directorial debut with Magik Theatre. A longtime Magik actor and production manager, Moreno’s knack for prop wrangling and lightning-fast costume changes is sure to shine as Wolfgang and the girl transform into each character onstage.
Catch Red Riding Hood on the Main Stage through October 12, 2025 at Beethoven Hall. After that, Wolfgang and friends will only appear in Magik on the Roadperformances during the fall and spring touring seasons.
