(LITTLE ROCK, AR) – The Arkansas Arts Center Children’s Theatre will present Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood January 20 – February 5, 2012. Performances are held Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood take the stage together in this exciting musical production. These two classic stories are told by a friendly, ever‐present quartet of singers that perform fun and catchy tunes written by Children’s Theatre composer Lori Isner.
“In this adaptation of Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood, we have approached these two very old stories in a new and fresh way,” said Artistic Director Bradley Anderson. “We have used music as a way to make the wolf and bears less threatening and more, well, just plain humorous. The musical element of our adaptation is more than just a silly way to tell some once‐scary stories. Rather, it gives the play a universal appeal and is a delight for audiences of all ages.”
The cast for Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood features: Rachel Haislip as Goldilocks; Anna Holman as Mama Bear; Mark Hansen as Papa Bear; Mattingly Bartole as Baby Bear; Katherine Campbell as Little Red Riding Hood; Mark Hansen as Mother; Josh Rice as Bill the Wolf; Aleigha Morton as Grandma; Nate Buursma as Woodcutter; and Paige Herschell, Christopher Straw, Vanessa Sterling and Chad Bradford as Singers.
Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood is adapted by Bradley Anderson and directed by Alan Keith Smith with scene design also by Alan Keith Smith, music by Lori Isner, props design by Miranda Young, costume design by Erin Larkin and lighting design by Adam Britt. Jimi Brew is the technical director for the production, and Sinovia Mayfield is the production stage manager.
Tickets for Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood are $14 for adults and $11 for children. Season ticket packages are available and offer savings over single ticket prices. Call 501-372-4000 or visit www.arkarts.com to purchase tickets or season ticket packages.
