The cast of “Red Riding Hood” has only five short days to rehearse before the first performance. Louise Lulack, a member of the Plains Woman’s Club who put on the show, wanted to remind those who expect to attend a performance that if one were to purchase a ticket to the first show, the admission to the second one is free.
The play will take place on Saturday at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in the Plains High School Gym.
