Inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, this funny, freaky, feminist fairytale will ask: What makes a wolf? What makes a woman? And what horrors lie between? BIG BAD is a hilarious and hungry powerhouse of a piece that dares to throw us into the dark and dangerous forest where fantasy and family collide and consume one another.
Lock the doors. Bar the windows. Stay in bed. Hold your breath. Don't go outside. Don't go into the wood. Don't stray from the path. Cause the Big Bad is coming. It's coming. It's... here.

"Poetic, poignant, and macabre. Ebbing and flowing from one form of expression to the next, it's impossible to tell where the artifice ends and reality begins. It's abstract but powerful, delicate but foreboding. It's performance art without an iota of self-congratulation. It feels like the truth." -- Amelia Reynolds, BroadwayWorld.com
"Their cacophony of movement, storytelling, and visceral interaction feels like a vibrant new generation in live performance... The onstage storytellers elaborate a tragic story of several generations of women trying to survive, through mixed media, performance art, dance segments, and shadow projection woven all together with keen poetic verse... With a dedication to their personal story, these artists are performing challenging and provoking material in a way that makes any audience curious for more. -- Tony Gavilanes, Copious Love Productions
