Synopsis: 

Little Red Riding Hood was known as saying to the Big Bad Wolf, “Ooh, what big eyes you have!” But Red’s eyes are pretty big too, and in Little Red Robin Hood, a new take on an old tale, Red’s eyes are now wide open— to injustice! Yes, Grandma had to work from home during COVID and took over Little Red’s bedroom as an office and Red’s not too happy about it! On top of that Grandma’s new boyfriend is none other than one Mr. Wolf. Having had enough, Red has recreated herself into “Little Red ROBIN Hood”: social justice warrior! So when she sees books pulled from her neighborhood library she recruits local homeless vet (Little) John on an odyssey you have to see to believe. It’s humor, songs and pandemonium in the city of Sherwood Forrest as one little girl becomes a legendary bandit and changes history!
