This classic fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm tells the story of a forgetful miller who tells the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. She manages to do this with the help of a dwarf named Rumpelstitskin. In return she has nothing to give him, so she promises her first-born child to him. In the end she has to guess his unusual name to keep her child from the nasty little dwarf. This enchanting fairy tale is full of laughter and audience participation, and is great holiday fun for the whole family.

This delightful children's classic follows the adventure of Goldilocks in the forest during Christmas time. Her grandfather is organizing a Christmas party for her. Goldilocks get lost in the woods while playing Hide and Seek, and stumbles across a house belonging to the three bears. With nobody home, Goldilocks goes inside and makes herself at home. The three bears come home to find their visitor fast asleep with hilarious consequences. A Christmas fairytale classic for the whole family.
After each public performance the audience will be able to meet Father Christmas, who will be handing out sweets to all the children.
