***********************************************************
Ming Ri Institute for Arts Education will stage the children's puppet theatre "The Friend Who Loves Apple Pie" in May.
The story begins as Little Red Riding Hood is asked by her mother to visit grandma with some freshly made, delicious apple pie. Along the way, she shares the surplus ingredients with the animals in the forest, and the wolf tries to get a slice but is too late.
In an attempt to steal some apple pie, the wolf follows Little Red Riding Hood but is accidentally trapped. The kind little girl saves the wolf, and tells it that she is going to visit her grandma who lives in the cottage in the forest. Knowing that an evil witch instead of grandma is waiting for her, what will the wolf do next?
