It opened November 14, 1994 and played for ten performances, touring the Wichita Public Schools (and has been performed every year since then). It was directed by Kevin Reese.  This  longer version was produced by the WCT Touring Company for their 1998-99 season.

Characters:
Mama Pig (F)
Ziggy (M or F)
Twiggy (M or F)
Reggie (M or F)
The Merchant (M or F)
Wolf (M or F)

Original Cast: 5-- 2 Men, 3 Women (Mama and Wolf doubled)

As Mamma Pig sends Ziggy Twiggy and Reggie--her "little babies" out into the world, she gives them valuable advice on living a healthy lifestyle. One by one, the pigs encounter the villainous Merchant, who will do or say just about anything to make a sale of junk food and cigarettes--as well as sticks and bricks, and one by one the pigs meet the Wolf (who, because of the bad advice of the Merchant, just can't seem to get his life together). With the help of the audience, the Pigs show the Wolf that the Merchant has been feeding his head full of lies over the years and help him change his harmful lifestyle into that of a healthy one.

This show is Perfect for "Great American Smoke-out"!  It has toured the Wichita Public Schools each year since 1993.  Corporate sponsors (Hospitals, Medical Groups, etc) LOVE this type of show!
