KIDS + FAMILIES

The Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) Kids in Theatre presents Alex Strum’s comedy Big Bad. Directed by Ilich Guardiola and Joshua Clark, Big Bad opens for a 4-day limited engagement August 12, 2009, at the HFAC Rehearsal Studio Stage, 10760 Grant Road in northwest Houston. All tickets are only $5.00!

Big Bad is a smart and funny play that lets the audience determine the outcome of the play! The most notorious criminal in the fairy-tale world, Big Bad Wolf, is being slapped with a class-action lawsuit by the countless quirky characters he has wronged. Now, the two greatest legal minds in the Enchanted Forest—the Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother—will clash (on live Court TV, no less) in a trial that will be remembered forever after.

As Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and the Shepherd in charge of the Boy Who Cried Wolf testify, the wolf seems deserving of all that’s coming. But, even though the disreputable Evil Stepmother couldn’t be less interested in pro-bono work on such an obviously futile defense, Mr. Wolf makes a good case for himself. Was he born a criminal, or made one? Perhaps he does deserve compassion instead of condemnation? What will the verdict be? Only the jury—the audience—can decide, when the doddering old Judge invites them to determine the outcome of the trial… and the play!

“We’re pleased to present our 4th Kids in Theatre production,” reports Teri Clark, HFAC Artistic Director. “The 18 kids in this workshop show are talented young actors. Big Bad is a fun show for the entire family!”
