Red Ridin' in the Hood - Coming Soon!
"Twelve classic tales are retold and infused with Latino culture and characters, giving them a new life and relevance.
"Red Ridin' in the Hood" takes place in a barrio where the resourceful Roja meets a wolf in a lowrider. Set in a high school, “Emperador’s New Clothes” is about a popular but heartless teen obsessed with style. A retelling of a Greek myth unfolds in an Aztec city in “El Día de los Muertos.” In a twist on Sleeping Beauty, a young witch who only wants love serves up a cursed tamale against her annoying rival. “The Three Chiccarrones” tells the tale of pig brothers who fight off a wolf hungry for real estate. And in the bonus story, “Gato in Zapatos,” a cat bored with chasing mice helps a fashion designer seeking inspiration for her new collection." - Patricia Santos Marcantonio
