Little Red in the Bellingen Hood

Published on 23 September 2024

Delight and educate your children these school holidays, with this fun-filled fractured fairy tale with educational messages.

For the uninitiated, ‘fractured’ means ‘retold’, typically to update the fairytale for modern audiences.

Little Red loves her Granny and her neighbourhood! She’s like a super-hero in a hoodie, watching her neighbour’s houses while they’re away and always on the lookout for litterbugs and people who don’t know how to recycle.

Her mottos are ‘Keep Australia Beautiful’ and ‘Be a Recycle Super-Hero’. Everyone in ‘the hood’ thinks Red is pretty amazing!

Of course, every story has a troublemaker and this one has Walter – The Big Bad Wolf. He’s not really that big or bad ...more like medium-sized and cheeky, but he does leave rubbish all over the place and has no idea about recycling.

Walter can smell the awesome chocolate cake Granny’s got cooking and he’s on a mission to get the first bite of the cake… and Granny…oh no!!

Will Little Red get there first and save her Granny… and the awesome chocolate cake? Come along at 10am on Monday 7 October and find out!

The show suits children aged 4 - 11 years and their families and runs for 50 minutes. There is a chance to see the cast at a ‘meet and greet’ after the performance. The performance is produced by Jally Entertainment and written by A.J. Bailey.
