Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
StoryBook Theater kicks off its seventh season at Kirkland Performance Center with its own wacky adaptation of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.
"Breakfast, breaking and entering, and bear hugs highlight this musical fable about steamy porridge, musical chairs and bumpy beds. Goldilocks meets some not-very-scary bears and learns an important lesson in this light-hearted look at the importance of honesty and good behavior."
StoryBook Theater has become a regional favorite when it comes to great, but inexpensive theater for families with young children. The company presents wacky, original musical fairy tales, created specifically for very young audiences - ages 3 through 9 - and the whole family. The 55-minute performances feature adult professional actors, accompanied by an on-stage musician. After the performance the actors take questions from the youngsters in the audience.
A StoryBook play is a wonderful way to introduce your child (or grandchild) to the joy and magic of live theater. Although the shows are aimed at the kids, they are designed to entertain adults as well.
Goldilocks and the 3 Bears opens at KPC on November 13 and plays through the 21st. Saturday performances are at 11 a.m. and 1 and 3 p.m.; Sunday shows are at 1 and 3 p.m. Tickets are $7.50, plus the KPC box office service fee. For tickets and information, call the KPC box office at 893-9900.

'Twas the Night...
