Yet another new pantomime for KMTC – Goldilocks and the Three Bears!
Roll up! Roll up! The Circus is in town! Dame Gertie Dollop runs the show with her son, Silly Billy but they have fallen on hard times particularly with the dastardly Ringmaster Heinkel, owner of the rival ‘Circus of Horrors’ up to his devious old tricks. Goldilocks dreams of running away with the circus but her father the debt-collecting Baron Wasteland won’t allow it and demands the overdue pitch fees from Gertie and Billy.
They need a miracle however after their honeypot full of money is taken in the middle of the night by three porridge hungry, talking bears. Could they be the new star attraction Dame Gertie has been searching for?
And can Mystic Sharon with her crystal ball see a future for the Circus and save the day?
