Act Out - Goldilocks on Trial

The Newington Children's Theatre Company is proud to present their third one-act of their Act Out 2018-19 season, Goldilocks on Trial Performances are Friday, January 25, at 7pm and Saturday, January 26, at 2pm. All tickets are $10.

In this kooky spoof of TV courtroom dramas, Amanda Marie Locks, known as Goldilocks or even Goldie, is on trial for breaking and entering and destruction of private property. A wide cast of fairytale characters serve as witnesses for the prosecuting and defense attorneys. To hear the Bare family tell it, Goldie should be found guilty. But an unscrupulous judge and a slew of unreliable witnesses including a blind witch, a forgetful old woman who lives in a shoe, a dwarf with a nasty disposition, a skittish tuffet-tester, and a country boy so dumb hed trade beans for a cow make it hard to build a case against the gal with the golden hair. With so much conflicting testimony, no wonder the results are courtroom chaos! The entire justice system is left in silly shambles in this slapstick one-act designed for laughs.

Performances will take place at NCTC located at 743 North Mountain Road in Newington. For more information, please call 860.666.NCTC or visit www.NCTCArts.org.
