Anti-bullying Play 'Little Red In the Hood' Just released!

My latest stage play 'Little Red in the Hood' just released with JAC Publishing. Here is the press release:



B.C. Author/Playwright Tracy Krauss and JAC Publishing Release a New Spin on an Old Tale to Support Anti-Bullying

September 17, 2012: Burlington, MA: JAC Publishing and playwright Tracy Krauss of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia have released a new spin on and old favorite to help support anti-bullying – “Little Red in the Hood.”  Little Red, an adventurous girl with a mind of her own, takes on the task of befriending Mildred, the social outcast at school. On her way to Grandmother’s house, she encounters the Swine brothers who warn her about a possible predator, BB Wolf, and his nephew/apprentice, who are on the prowl. Little Red also meets up with a gang of tough ‘hooligans’ led by someone known as ‘The Man’. Fortunately for Little Red, when these ruffians find out who her grandmother is (the coolest old lady around) they escort her right to Granny’s door. Naturally, BB and Co. are waiting. After a series of mix-ups and close encounters, it’s revealed that the Swine brothers are really in cahoots with BB Wolf, and are involved in an insurance fraud scam. Granny saves the day with her karate moves and all is well… or so we think. In the end, everyone learns their lesson about honesty and staying true to oneself.

“Little Red in the Hood” is Krauss’ second release with this publisher, her first being a Wizard of Oz- based full-length play called “Dorothy’s Road Trip.”  Tracy Krauss is also the author of 'edgy inspirational' fiction - stories from a Christian worldview that also strive for realism and authenticity. Published works include Wind Over Marshdale, And the Beat Goes On, My Mother the Man-Eater, and Play it Again.

Tracy Krauss is an author, playwright, artist, director, and teacher. She grew up in small town Saskatchewan and received her Bachelor of Education Degree in Saskatoon with majors in Art, English and History. She has lived in many interesting places in northern Canada, many of them north of the 60th parallel. She is currently a full time High School teacher of Art, Drama, English and History. She is currently working on several novels and stage plays.  For information about Krauss or “Little Red in the Hood,” please visit JAC Publishing online at www.jacpub.com, call (781) 272-2066, or email julieann@jacneed.com.
