Join Us for Auditions: "Goldilocks in Bobby Socks"

Stage Left Players is thrilled to continue our Season 32 Road Trip with an exciting stop at Angie’s Pit Stop for our original bebop musical, "Goldilocks in Bobby Socks!" This fun and energetic production is the perfect opportunity for young performers in grades K-8 to sing, dance, and showcase their talents on stage!

The Story: Goldi and her friends are enjoying a soda after school when Howie and his Hornet Gang roll in, bringing trouble with them. Howie invites Goldi on an "unforgettable ride" on his motorcycle, leaving her friends to wonder: Will Goldi take the ride or head home like she should? This outrageously updated fairy tale is filled with toe-tapping music, laughs, and plenty of heart.

Auditions:

  • Dates: February 18 & 19, 2025

The holiday season is upon us, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with Stage Left Players’ original production of Jingle My Bell! 🎭

Imagine this: It’s 1956 in Lisbon, Ohio. A blizzard strands a greyhound bus full of passengers at DeeDee & Dave's Diner—a once-thriving local favorite that’s fallen on hard times. You, the audience, step into the story as the passengers, sharing laughs, holiday cheer, and timeless classics like Jingle Bell Rock, Winter Wonderland, Let It Snow, and more. 🎶❄️


But there’s a twist! Local health inspector Floyd Knickerbocker arrives to “inspect” the diner, stirring up some extra drama. Will DeeDee and Dave save their beloved diner, or is it curtains for good?


Why You Can’t Miss It:

  • A feel-good, family-friendly experience that’s sure to warm your holiday spirit.

  • Nostalgia, laughter, and community all wrapped in one delightful show.

  • Incredible local talent delivering a story full of heart and holiday magic.
