Photo Flash: THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS Begins Today at Players Club of Swarthmore

You know all about the Big Bad Wolf and his ability to huff, puff and blow down houses (except those made of brick), but what if this guy has been getting a bad rap all along? Well, it's time to find out, by coming to Swarthmore, Pennsylvania...er... Piggsylvania for the trial of the century as the Big Bad Wolf goes to court to determine if he really was intent on being destructive, or if he really is much more innocent than the fabled story has portrayed in this musical celebration geared for our youngest audiences.

Recommended for children age 3 and up, THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS by Robert Kauzlaric, is a family-friendly production for anyone of any age who is willing to hear the other side of the story.... or finally wants to see the wolf face justice. Scroll down to meet the cast!

THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS is the traditional story of the Three Little Pigs with a twist, music and puppets! Every story has two sides and when the Big Bad Wolf stands trial in a Piggsylvania court, it turns out to be a "can't miss" trial where the wolf finally has his say. But, will he get a fair trial in the notoriously corrupt piggy court? It's anyone's guess. Will the prosecution pig's flashy puppet show win over the jury or make a puppet out of justice? Will the wolf's Jazzy song and dance about a sneeze gone wrong sway the jury and set him free? Come be a member of the jury box and decide the fate of the Big Bad Wolf in this toe-tapping musical adaptation of the hit children's book.

Josiah Donnell of Boothwyn takes on the dual task of directing and starring as the defendant Alexander T. Wolf. He is joined in the cast by Meghan Deaver of Ridley Park (Lillian Magill), Jennifer Wolfe of Chester (Honorable Prudence/Pig #1), Lacey Kurz of Haverford (Julia/Pig #2) and Jessica Poulton of West Chester (Rocky/Dr. Robert/Martha/Maxwell/Pig #3).
