The Legend of Little Bad:Not Her Father's Fairy Tale

by Wendy Gennaula • August 3, 2008 • Tommy (who is 10) was concerned that he might be too old for “The Legend of Little Bad: Not Her Father’s Fairy Tale”. Not to worry. The clever script kept him entertained for the full forty-five minutes.

Good To Momma is the blog of Wendy Gennaula, one of five bloggers covering the Minnesota Fringe Festival for the Daily Planet.

Closer to the spirit of the original Grimm’s fairy tales than the Disney versions, this fractured fairy tale picks up the story with Little Pink (Red Riding Hood’s daughter) and Woofie (the big bad wolf’s daughter) running off into the forest to change their story . Little Pink doesn’t want to be naive and stupid and Woofie doesn’t want to have to eat her friends. Archie, one of the three little piggies, tags along. Silliness ensues. The children in the audience enjoyed being invited to participate. Even the adults had a howling good time.

Wendy Gennaula is a singer and actress in the Twin Cities. She is the mother of two extraordinary Fringelings.

News you can use

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
