Performances run September 27 – October 12, 2025 in San Antonio.
Magik Theatre will present Red Riding Hood, Allison Gregory’s fast-paced and funny retelling of the classic fairy tale, beginning September 27 on the Main Stage. Directed by Devon Moreno, the production invites family audiences ages five and up to re-imagine the familiar story through a playful lens that celebrates courage, creativity, and working together.
In Gregory’s take on the tale, Wolfgang—the self-proclaimed “greatest actor in the world”—sets out to stage his one-man Red Riding Hood. His plans are upended by a feisty girl with a mysterious package and plenty of opinions. Together, they leap into a theatrical adventure, transforming everyday objects into costumes and props as they switch characters and surprise themselves along the way.
“This show is fast-paced, funny, and highly theatrical,” said director Devon Moreno. “We want the audience to leave feeling inspired—not just by the story, but by the possibilities of what they could create themselves.”
The run marks Moreno’s directorial debut with Magik Theatre. A longtime company member and production manager, he brings hands-on experience in prop work and quick costume changes, elements that play a central role in this staging.
