Read Writing Hood

A small theater troupe recounts the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” changing the story with the audience’s assistance. They encounter adventures with similes, metaphors, homonyms, and other examples of literary devices to get Little Red to her grandma’s home.

Common Core STANDARDS

Core Curriculum

Abandon Ship's "Read Writing Hood" demonstrates figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings, including relationships between particular words (e.g., adjectives, nouns, homonyms) and the meaning of common idioms, adages, and proverbs.

Optional Add-on

Teacher Packets

In addition to the assembly, schools may purchase teacher packets that are the perfect in-classroom companion.

Designed for teachers, the packet includes lesson plans and fun activities.

Bring the Stage to Your Students

Abandon Ship Theater Troupe provides accessible, interactive, high-energy theater assemblies designed to inspire and engage students.

Students develop their listening and emotional skills through the experience of live theater. Learning through storytelling has proven to be 20 times more effective in helping people retain facts, which makes it an extremely effective teaching device. However, many students do not have the means, knowledge, or time to attend live theater.


Our performances allow students to experience live performances in an affordable, engaging, educational, convenient, and safe environment. Using California State educational standards, Abandon Ship Theater Troupe makes learning fun and memorable.
