| What's new in the 'Hood'
Monica Cho Coldwell is Little Red, and Moses Goods III is the Wolf in "The Little, Little Red Riding Hood Show," by Russell Davis, continuing at McCoy Pavilion, Ala Moana Beach Park.

Showtimes are 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday and May 1, 8 and 15. May 15's 4:30 show will be sign-interpreted. Tickets are $12 general, $6 youths 18 and younger and seniors over 60. "Riding" is recommended for kids 5 and older. 839-9885, www.htyweb.org. Brad Goda |
