Red vs. The Wolf: Ben’s Ford Christian Drama Club presents a little different slant on the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ story

It was a howling good time when the Ben’s Ford Christ-ian School Drama Club presented “Red vs. the Wolf” on April 30.

Red vs. the Wolf, written by Judy Wolfman, is a twist on the well-known fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood.”

In this version, Willard the Wolf, a kind, considerate, and eco-friendly wolf, complains that he is a victim of misunderstanding perpetrated by the bratty Red. He claims that Granny knew who he was all along and that his disguise was meant to teach Red to be nice. Unfortunately, through Red’s devious schemes, everyone believes Willard to be a Big Bad Wolf.

The entire cast takes a well deserved bow.
