ELMWOOD PLAYERS KIDZ
THEATRE
Elmwood Players Kidz
Theatre returns with
Goldisnowerellahood, the story
of Goldilocks. There’s only
one problem, the players aren’t
sure they can remember how it
goes. With some help from the
audience, they will attempt to tell
the story, taking side trips into
well-known fairy tales like Snow
White and the Seven Dwarves,
Hansel and Gretel, Little Red
Riding Hood, The Three Little
Pigs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
The Frog Prince, The Princess
and the Pea and Rumpelstiltskin,
before eventually (or accidentally)
ending up telling Goldilocks and
the Three Bears. Tickets cost $8.
