Bright Star Theatre Company
Join NSSRA for a theater program designed for teens and adults who are interested in acting in a live
production! Our participants will be joined with Creative Companions and Northbrook Park District Theatre
staff to help facilitate a professional production of "Doo Wop Red Riding Hood!" This sock-hopping ‘50s
adventure tells the story of three sisters looking for love; Little Red, Big Green and Medium Purple Riding Hood. The likely candidates are Wise Prince Jason,
Strong Prince Justin, and Loud Prince Frank but they all want to woo Red Riding Hood! The only way to figure things out is to have Fairy Godmother set three
tasks for the princes to accomplish. Like any good fairy tale, they run into hilarious obstacles along the way! This rockin’ show is guaranteed to end in happily-
ever-after laughter for audiences and performers of all ages!
Space is limited so register early! There will be additional practices during production week; the schedule will be determined at a later date.
Performances are scheduled for Saturday, April 7 at 5:00 pm and Sunday, April 8 at 1:00 pm. All interested actors and companions must register for this
program through NSSRA. No program November 21, December 19, December 26, January 2 and March 27.
Goals: Gain experience in a theater setting and in show production. Increase social interaction with peers.
