GOLDI LOCKS AND THE THREE ALIENS Lands Again at NCTC's Family Matinee Series
This October, New Conservatory Theatre Center Family Matinee Series launches into space once more, with the return engagement of Goldi Locks and the Three Aliens written and directed by NCTC Youth Conservatory Director Stephanie Temple.
Goldi Locks and the Three Aliens is the story of Goldi, a young student who is picked on by her classmates for being a "science nerd" and who just doesn't quite fit in her world. Everything changes when three new students come to her defense and reveal that they are actually aliens exploring the universe. They invite her along for a life-changing ride to try out new worlds, hoping to find one that is "just right" for her. Goldi comes to realize that her world isn't perfect, but she has the power to make it the place she hopes it can be.
Goldi Locks and the Three Aliens plays Saturdays & Sundays at 2pm & 4pm, October 8 - October 16, 2014 in NCTC's Theater 3.
Tickets are $10 for youth, $20 for adults, and are available at nctcsf.org or by calling (415) 861-8972.
