COLUMBUS CHILDREN’S THEATRE: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Take a classic fairy tale, give it a burst of energy, add lots of audience participation and you’re in for a hilarious time. In our case, the story is a flashback. Baby Bear and Goldilocks are friends, playing and arguing about who really broke Papa’s chair. Mama and Papa Bear can’t agree either, so they decide to re-enact the story as it really happened. The familiar story is all there, mixed with frantic entrances, exits and near-misses as Goldilocks is almost discovered – several times! And there’s always a message. The lesson here, among others, is that we shouldn’t lie. Goldilocks has never been funnier. Recommended for age 3 and older. (50 minutes). Showing Jan. 12-22 at the Park Street Theatre, 512 Park St. Thurs. & Fri. (7:30), Sat. (1, 3. 5p), Sun. (1 & 3p). Tickets: $10 (Th); $12-$20 (Fri-Sun). Call 614-224-6672 or visit www.colschildrenstheatre.org

COLUMBUS CHILDREN’S THEATRE: Getting Near to Baby. In the North Carolina summer of 1967, tragedy strikes their family, so Willa Jo and Little Sister are sent to stay with their Aunt Patty and Uncle Hob while their mother tries to come to terms with their family’s loss. Aunt Patty has more of a way with her garden gnomes than little girls. Always concerned with the order and the rightness of a thing, she has a million rules about everything. This especially doesn’t sit well with Little Sister, who hasn’t said a word since her baby sister died, and plain refuses to let go of the drawing she carries with her everywhere. Luckily, Uncle Hob has a sweet, understanding way about him, and the neighbor kids, Lizzie and Isaac Fingers, are as nice as can be. Adapted from a Newbery Honor book, this poignant play traces a family’s journey of acceptance and understanding in the face of loss. Recommended for age 8 and older. (80 minutes). Showing Feb. 9-26 at the Park Street Theatre, 512 Park St. Thurs. & Fri. (7:30), Sat. (1, 5p), Sun. (3p). Tickets: $10 (Th); $12-$20 (Fri-Sun).
