The Ritz Theatre Company’s, Inc., Improvisational Children’s Theatre Troupe, hosted by Ritzy the Wolf, presents  “Three Billy Goats Gruff,”. One bridge, three goats and a troll!  “Three Billy Goats Gruff” is a classic lesson in sharing, presented from a child’s viewpoint. Once upon a time there were three billy goats called Gruff. On their way to the mountain they had to cross a dangerous rushing river. There was only one bridge across it, made of wooden planks. Underneath the bridge there lived an ugly troll who wouldn’t let anybody cross the bridge without his permission.  As in all Ritzy the Wolf Fairy Tale Theatre productions, children in the audience will participate by helping Ritzy tell the story.
