Goldilocks

GOLDILOCKS

by

Mark D. Zimmerman

Synopsis:

Goldilocks, because she has such beautiful hair, often forgets that there are more important things in life than one’s appearance. As a result, the list of those she offends with her selfish behavior grows and grows. The traditional Goldilocks tale ends with her running from the Bears’ house after trying their porridge, their chairs, and their beds. In this production, we learn for the first time what happens after Goldilocks runs away in fright, and how the Bears help teach her an important lesson about good looks, good manners, and good hearts!
