Goldilocks is the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with a few added twists. The doors and chairs talk, Goldilocks comes upon other fairytale creatures on her journey through the woods, and the Three Bears have a Species Exchange Student who adds comedy to the story. We follow Goldilocks on an errand she is supposed to be running for her mother. Funny things ensue when she goes into the woods instead of the grocery store. The Storyteller helps us through the story and gets the audience involved too.
***OPEN TO KIDS AGES 8-18 who have not graduated high school***
