MOONSHINE THEATER HOLIDAY SHOW

Posted by lanah on

What if the Three Bears were really Teddy Bears! And what if Goldilocks was not a little girl at all, but a golden, mischievous little dog? That is exactly the case is this very funny retelling of the traditional fairy tale. Presented with Bohemian style marionettes on a tabletop stage. Live music and singing.
