How do we leave our past behind? Welcome to the HOODY, where Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf fall out of their fairy tale and find themselves trapped together in a Toronto apartment. Crime on their tail and barely coping in strange, new bodies, these sworn enemies must work together to change the gruesome ending that's been written for them.
*As this is written, HOODY has been chosen for New York City's MITF (Mid Town International Theater Festival) 2026!
