Knoxville Children’s Theatre, in partnership with The Ritchie Company, will present “The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs” a live comic play for ages 5 and older. The play will be performed January 20 through February 5, Thursdays and Fridays at 7 PM; Saturdays at 1 PM and 5 PM; Sundays at 3 PM.
This play, originally produced by Dallas Children’s Theatre, has been a smash-hit across the USA! Three classic fairy tales, with three famous trios (the Little Pigs, the Billy Goats Gruff, and the Three Bears) begin in their usual “once-upon-a-time” fashion… but things change on the way to “happily-ever-after.” The pigs imagine life without a wolf, the goats can’t face another troll, and Papa Bear has had enough of Goldilocks! The trios join forces for a hilarious mashup of some of the world’s oldest tales!
The play is performed by 19 talented young actors, from ages 8 to 14. Evie Braude, Millie Lovett, and Lily Segars play the Three Little Pigs; Ella Clayton, Hattie Perry and Braxxton Sommers play the Billy Goats Gruff; and Jillian Barry, Autumn Harbison, and Tripp Keeton play the Three Bears. Also featured in the play are Goldilocks (Anna Kate Stanley) and the Big Bad Wolf (Levi Vinsant).
