Small Crimson Parasol

Meat & Potato Theatre recently assisted the Calvin Smith Elementary Drama Club by building a handful of set pieces for their production of folk tales entitled TWO FOR THE SHOW: HEGGITY PEG & SMALL CRIMSON PARASOL. The latter is a retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood", but set in Japan rather than the Bavarian woods.

The Calvin Smith Drama Club is directed by Kathleen Atkinson, a M&P board member. The fight and dance choreography for the shows were directed by Enid Atkinson, former associate producer of M&P.

Here Small Crimson Parasol meets grandmother who looks a little under the weather...



Here Heggity Peg arrives at the children's house, looking through the window we built.



Here is the bamboo screen we built for the story set in Japan. The unit rotated to represent the Heggity Peg woods on the other side.
