By: Gabrielle Sierra Oct. 25, 2010
Kids all ages will await a spooky and fun version of Galli's Little Red Riding Hood this Halloween weekend. Kids can dress up in their favorite Halloween costume and enter a contest to win prices. The show will begin at 3 p.m. at the National Comedy Theatre on 347 W. 36 Street, between 8 and 9 Avenues. Please note: No shows at Galli Theater on 38 W. 38 Street this Halloween weekend! All tickets will be $5 off.
This Halloween weekend Galli's Little Red Riding Hood will take young audiences on a journey through scary woods full of spooky surprises. The big bad Wolf is still likable and definitely funny when he asks the kids to howl along and to help him find Little Red. "This musical telling of this fairy tale encourages children to express their feelings, and overcome their fears," said Dr. Tatjana Maya, Director of Galli Theater. At the end of each show the theater group invites kids to join the Halloween after-show workshop where they can act out their favorite scary fairy tale characters, and dress up in spooky costumes. The workshop is followed by a mini performance for the adults. Playwright, clown, and director Johannes Galli has been bringing fairy tales to kids for almost 25 years. Believing that fairy tales are healing for children, he uses the original story but changes the "grim" version into a humorous play that entertains kids and adults alike and has a fun and educating message in the end. "Fairy tales go beyond religious, cultural, and literary developments and are still relevant in today's society," said Johannes Galli. "At Galli Theater it's our mission to help children and adults to reconnect to the ancient wisdom of these tales and myths."October 30 and 31 at National Comedy Theatre (347 W. 36 Street, btw. 8 and 9 Avenues)
