The Story
The Big Bad Wolf has a big bad problem. It seems he's taken up smoking, and can no longer fulfill his wolfly duties. He just can't muster the strength to blow those pigs' houses down. Why would the wolf start smoking? It turns out he thought a lot of people smoked and thought it made him look cool. The three little pigs set out to show him just how wrong he is. Together they illustrate that people who smoke can't run and play like non-smokers. Then, with help from the audience, they help him quit smoking so he can get back to more wolf-like huffing and puffing.

The Players
Hayly: The first little pig. She's naive, and likes to do things "by the script."
Twiggy: The second little pig - always helpful and peace-loving.
Rocky: The third little pig - no nonsense, the oldest of the three pigs.
The Big Bad Wolf: Well-intentioned but misguided - he thinks smoking makes him
look cool.
Little Red Riding Hood: In a cameo appearance, expresses her dislike for smoking.

The Story
Life has recently been discovered on the far away planet of Tramsos. It is learned that the people of Tramsos all have an unusual personality trait - they have difficulty stopping something once they start. The bigwigs at the Snarlboro cigarette company come up with an evil plan to capitalize on this habitual nature by getting the people of Tramsos hooked on cigarettes. Buck Robb travels to Tramsos to sell his cigarettes, but a couple of residents are already a step ahead of him. They already know the dangers of smoking. Together with a few student volunteers they defeat Buck by using refusal tactics to reject his offer, thus saving their people from this harmful habit.
