Don't miss the traditional play, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears.. on the Square" at presented by The Holly Children's Theatre, outdoors, at no admission charge, on the town square!

The play was written by local playwright Tim Quigley and is adapted for adults or teens to present for children (although adults have been known to enjoy watching the kids in the audienc sm_goldilockswiththeflowers e participate in this interactive show almost more than the kids themselves!) It is a mixed up tale of the traditional story of Goldilocks intertwined with the true story of how a real bear cub wandered into Dahlonega's town square in 1996. Children from the audience are given lines and/or invited up onto stage to play the flowers, trees, firefighters, tourists, and more (and given costume pieces of course). The audience also makes the sound effects for the production. A great show to bring your camera to! The show is part of the BEAR ON THE SQUARE MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL held in Dahlonega April 18--20. Come make a day of it and enjoy workshops, music, crafts, children's events and more at this annual festival. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON BEAR ON THE SQUARE FESTIVAL.

Seussical Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Holly Children’s Theatre presents SEUSSICAL Live On Stage, March 13-16 combining 13 of Dr. Seuss’ works in a fanstastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Notable composers Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life in Seussical all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, and the Whos of Whoville! These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by JoJo, a young boy and “thinker of strange and wonderful thinks”! As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are; making this musical one that appeals to all ages. The score emerges as a Seussian gumbo of musical styles, ranging from Latin to pop, swing to gospel, and R&B to funk!

Shows run at 7 p.m. March 13-16 and 2 p.m. March 15-16. All shows will be on the main stage of the Holly Theatre and are presented by seven adult leads, one child lead, and a chorus and supporting cast of 22 youth. Tickets cost $5 for students/children and $9 for adults.
