INTERACTIVE FARCE. Audience members are encouraged to ham it up with the narrator in this hysterical, hog-tacular adaptation of “The Three Little Pigs.” Mamma and Papa’s three piglets are eating them out of house, out of home, and out of their favorite ice cream, Hog-en-Daz! Before kicking the piglets out of the house, Mamma and Papa warn them to stay away from the ferocious Big Bad Wolf, who will make a quick snack of them, and from swindlers who will try to cheat them out of their gold coins. As the piglets venture into the woods, they meet Someone and his accomplices, Sometwo and Somethree, who humorously swindle the swine out of their gold coins in exchange for some sticks and straw. Only Bo, the runt of the family, sees through their scam and works slowly and surely to build a brick house. After the Big Bad Wolf blows down the straw and stick houses, Bo thinks his brick house is secure, but the Big Bad Wolf brings along his biggest fan! There are plenty of puns, one-liners, and opportunities for physical humor. Perfect for touring.
