"The True Story of The Three Little Pigs"allows the audience to be the jury as the Big Bad Wolf is put on trial for his "supposed" crimes against the three pigs. This hilarious rock musical is led by Lillian Magill, a top pig reporter who is covering the courtroom drama. The audience gets to hear both sides and then decides whether the Wolf is guilty or innocent, thereby determining how the play will end.

The musical version of "The True Story of The Three Little Pigs" was adapted from the popular children's book written by Joe Scieszka and Lane Smith. The book and lyrics were written by Robert Kauzlaric, and the music was composed by Paul Gilvary and William Rush.

Derby Dinner's production is under the direction of Tina Jo Wallace.  The cast includes Neill Robertson as Alexander T. Wolf, Ava Whitaker as Magill, Cherrie Pointer, Tasha Hatchett and Embry Thielmeier..

All public performances of "The True Story of The Three Little Pigs" feature a kid-friendly buffet and are one hour in length.
