Palatine Park District presents "Little Red and the Hoods," a live theatrical performance for families, at 10:30 a.m. Monday, March 28, at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center, 150 E. Wood St., Palatine.

This tale of Little Red Riding Hood is told with modern lessons for today's children. As the story goes, of course, Little Red is taking her cookies to her grandmother when she encounters Harry Wolf. Harry works for the notorious gang leader Ma Sugar Lump, and wants to steal the recipe for the cookies, sell them to others, and become rich. Fortunately, their plot fails.

This play teaches young audiences about not judging people by their looks, how to protect themselves from strangers, and the importance of reading.

Palatine Park District's Family Friendly Theatre productions offer a convenient, local option for introducing children to the theatrical experience. Shows are usually an hour long and are offered in a comfortable atmosphere in the heart of Palatine at the Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center.
