We’re Wolfin’!



Little Red Riding Hood & the 3 Little Pigs” opens this Thursday, and we can hardly wait. Both stories are told by B. B. Wolfe, and you might learn a few details that were left out from the original tales. This musical production is the funniest of our productions, and encourages the most audience participation.

SB Inspired “Sex and the City?”



Well, not really. But, in a Washington Post.com article, production designer Jeremy Conway credits our own Allan Stevens as an early influence in his design career. Conway was Production Designer on the HBO television series, “Sex and the City.” Allan Stevens is not only our president, but also the set and costume designer for our productions, including “Sleeping Beauty.” Speaking of “Sleeping Beauty,” Sunday, July 25 is the final day to see this Helen Hayes Recommended© production. There are still some tickets left for both the 11:30 AM and 1 PM shows. And don’t worry, the show is “G” rated.
