Salt Lake Acting Company presents a fractured fairy tale as a musical courtroom drama, adapted from a popular genre-breaking 1989 book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith.
The musical casts theatergoers as the jury in the Piggsylvania trial of Alexander T. Wolf. During the trial, the wolf explains how he earned his “big, bad” reputation, thanks to an ill-timed sneeze that accidentally blew two houses down, which led him to feast on pork.
It’s the ninth annual kids’ play produced by SLAC, aimed at encouraging subscribers to introduce the children in their lives to live theater. As part of the run, the company offers morning matinees for elementary students from 12 Utah Title 1 schools.
