SSP_logoCINCINNATI, OH – September 18, 2017 — Sunset Players announces auditions for its children’s show GOLDILOCKS ON TRIAL by Ed Monk and directed by Chris Yearout.

Goldilocks is on trial for breaking and entering. Will she be found guilty and sent to prison or will the truth come out? It’s up to Judge Wallabee and some very silly jurors to decide, after hearing testimony from Goldee, the bickering Three Bears and surprise witness Merwin the Big Bad Wolf, among other.

Audition dates are Monday, October 2 and Tuesday, October 3 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Arts Center at Dunham, 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, Ohio. The children’s show at Sunset Players is a great way for those (children or adults) with little to no acting experience to gain some experience performing live theater. All ages and experience levels are welcome. Auditions will consist of reading selections from the script.

Performances are December 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 & 10. Friday shows are at 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday performances are at 2 p.m.

The cast consists of 12 or more people, including three females and four male roles with the other remaining roles being non-gender specific.

Roles include:

  • Melvin The Bailiff
  • Judge Wallabee
  • District Attorney (Da) Muffinhead
  • Attorney Wombat
  • Goldee Wynn Locks (Aka Goldilocks)
  • Papa Bear
  • Mama Bear

  • Karen Vosseberg as Ethel
  • Mary Vosseberg as Rosalind
