The Newington Children's Theatre Company has opened enrollment for their third Act Out class of their 56th season. Throughout this class, participants are guided through rehearsals, learning techniques, terminology and skills in preparation for three public performances of a fully-produced one-act.
Goldilocks on Trial begins November 14. Classes meet Wednesdays, 6-7:30pm, through January 23. Dress Rehearsal is Thursday, January 24, with performances Friday, January 25, at 7pm and Saturday, January 26, at 2pm & 7pm. In this kooky spoof of TV courtroom drama, 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 he’d 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!
Classes and performances take place at the Newington Children's Theatre Company, located at 743 North Mountain Road in Newington. There is no audition. Everyone enrolled is cast in the production. Participation fee: $225. To register, visit www.NCTCArts.org.
