Little pigs outwit wolf in musical
The East Valley Children’s Theatre presents “Huff ’N Puff,” an original musical based on the classic children’s story “The Three Little Pigs,” June 20 through 30 at the Mesa Arts Center (MAC), One E. Main St., Mesa. When Ma and Pa Pig are too busy to go to the Barnyard Market, they send three of their oldest piglets. There the three meet the beautiful Miss Prissy and immediately begin building what they think should be her dream house. Enter B.B. Wolf, who is doing everything in his power to make sure they don’t succeed, and more importantly–turning them an easy lunch. Will the pigs be able to outwit the big bad wolf, or will they end up as bacon? Shows are June 20 through 22, and June 28 through 30; some matinees are available. Tickets are $15 for adults, and $11 for youth ages 17 and younger. For more information, call the MAC box office at 480-644-6500 or go online to: evct.org.
