"Three Little Pigs" brought to life in an original family-friendly musical

Largo, Florida -- An original musical that explores the flaws of human nature through the eyes of a family of stubborn pigs and one very famous wolf.

The story begins when Papa Pig informs his children that they must leave the comforts of the pen and make their own way in the world. Before they go, Papa leaves each "child" with an important piece of advice:

(1) "Be sure to build a strong, sturdy house"

(2) "Beware of the Big Bad Wolf"

(3) "United we stand, divided we fall."
