Goldilocks Goes On Trial In Ocean City July 11

OCEAN CITY, NJ — It’s time for Goldilocks to face the music. “The Trial of Goldilocks” is a retelling of the classic fairy tale with an added twist: the main character appears before a judge to answer for her crime of breaking and entering into the bears’ cottage. The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company (OCTC) brings the story to life on Tuesday, July 11, 10:30 a.m. at the Music Pier.

After the hard-of-hearing judge calls the court to order, the clerk presents the traditional story. Then the lawyers take over to present their sides of the case. In rollicking enactment's—with the jury playing tables, chairs, beds and forest animals—the stories unfold.

Guilty or innocent? Was the young girl a selfish, spoiled brat, intruding where she didn't belong? Or was she the victim of three conniving bears (and their animal "band of hoods" in the woods)? The surprising verdict from the jury—along with the judge's unique sentencing—bring this charming musical to a highly satisfying "happily-ever-after" conclusion.

It is one of five family-friendly performances at the music pier this summer. Below is information on other upcoming shows.

“Curious George: The Golden Meatball” brings the inquisitive, lovable, monkey star of books, movies, and PBS television show to life on July 18.

The beloved children’s book will jump off the pages in his new show “The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley” on July 25.

“StinkyKids: The Musical” wraps things up on Aug. 1. StinkyKid Britt loves making everyone happy. But this girl who never gets in trouble is in a sticky situation – literally: she has an impossibly epic wad of gum stuck in her hair.

All tickets are $10 in advance, $12 the day of the show. For tickets, call 609-399-6111 or visit oceancityvacation.com/boxoffice.

The 2017 Children’s Series program is made possible in part by a grant administered by the Cape May County Culture and Heritage Commission, from funds granted by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
