Can't score tickets to Hamilton? The critically acclaimed 17³Ô¹Ï Children's Theater will celebrate its 21st year with Little Red Frankenhood and three additional adventurous stories for a seven-week outdoor run in the Remsen Bird Hillside Theater on the 17³Ô¹Ï campus.

Performances of the stories that mix myths, fairy tales and pop culture are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m., July 7 through August 20, and run about an hour.

Frankenhood is directed by Tristan Waldron and features Savannah Gilmore ‘15, Eleanor Goulden ‘18, Nicholas Justice ‘17, Jonathan Padron ‘14, Billy Schmidt ’17 and Amanda Wagner ‘17.

The actors work without props, sets or special costumes, relying only on their acting and acrobatic skills. The Los Angeles Times has described 17³Ô¹Ï Children’s Theater as "one of L.A.’s little gems, an acrobatic outdoor theater romp presented with imagination and whiz-bang physicality."
