Fremont Middle presents fairy tale with a twist
Submitted by Margaret Van Duch
Fremont Middle School recently performed a comical, musical version of a well-known fairy tale.
It’s the 1950s; hula-hoops are in high demand, and so is Little Red Riding Hood! Wise Prince Jason (winner of the Math Olympics and the Nobel Prize), Strong Prince Justin (who can bench press his own mother) and ordinary Loud Prince Frank all want to woo Red Riding Hood during Fremont’s musical performance of the play. So the king and queen hire the Fairy Godmother to set three tasks for the princes. Only the prince who can find the missing girl, defeat the dragon and awaken a castle visitor from her slumber earns the right to woo Red Riding Hood. Alas, Little Red’s couch-potato parents don’t want to lose their little girl. How else will they get their cookies delivered to Grandmother? So they hire the evil queen to thwart the Fairy Godmother’s contest. Luckily, Little Red Riding Hood’s two sisters — Big Green Riding Hood and Medium Purple Riding Hood — help balance out the situation. Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf too! An adventure is guaranteed to end in happily-ever-after laughter for all.
