What is the show about?
Will justice be served in this hilarious fairy-tale courtroom play packed with characters we all know and love? It’s up to your audience, which serves as the jury and determines how the play ends! Goldilocks is the defendant, on trial for breaking and entering. The plaintiffs are—you guessed it—the three bears. As their lawyers Henny Penny and Tom Thumb go toe-to-toe hoping to prove their respective clients’ cases, other fairy tale characters are called to testify as witnesses, including Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Cow, and Granny. Even the Big Bad Wolf takes the stand, but can any of these witnesses be trusted themselves? Is Goldilocks guilty or innocent? With multiple endings to cover each possible outcome, YOU get to decide her ultimate fate, so don’t miss Once Upon a Crime: The Trial of Goldilocks!
For additional questions, feel free to contact your Forum Board or Forum faculty advisor Mrs. Thompson (thompscm@mlc-wels.edu).
