SHOW OVERVIEW
Goldie is a famous pop star who tours with her band, backup singers, backup dancers, manager, assistant manager, costumer, and, well you get the idea. She and her crew are traveling to New York for an important appearance on America’s Got Talent. As they leave on the tour bus, a mysterious man in black informs us that two worlds are about to collide as Goldie is entering the Twinkie Zone. (It used to be the Twilight Zone, but due to a paid product placement, the name has been changed.)
Meanwhile, the Paddingtons: Mama, Papa, and Meechee; a family of (you guessed it) three bears, leave their home in the forest just as Goldie’s tour bus is about to arrive. As you have probably already figured out, Goldie stops by. She is later joined by the scientists from the Proper Science Bureau and, eventually, the returning bear family.
Through her experiences in the Paddington home, Goldie learns the value of having and being a “real friend” (as well as the importance of having a good costumer.)
Just what will this family of bears do with a pop star? Will the band ever get on America’s Got Talent? Will Goldie ever get out of the Twinkie Zone? Check out Goldie Rocks! and the 3 Bears and see for yourself!

ABOUT EDMT’S TRAINING SHOW PROGRAM
- Training Shows are an ideal way for young people to start learning about performance and theatre. For young people who already have some theatre experience, it is a unique opportunity to gain further experience acting, singing, and dancing onstage.
- Our Training Shows start with the key theatre terms and performing. Performers then progress through actually staging a performance. The show itself is a “lighter” production that is perfectly suited to younger performers.
- The audition parallels the audition process used by El Dorado Musical Theatre and most other stage performance groups. Since all participants perform onstage, auditions are for determining who will perform each specific role.

SHOW FAQs
Who can participate?
Boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 9. (Age as of the date of auditions.)
Why do we have auditions?
The purpose of the audition is to determine how well participants can sing or dance and to determine who can best perform each role. Participants are not expected to arrive fully versed as a performer since that is what they are learning in rehearsals.
What are the audition song requirements and preferences?
Choose an age appropriate song, preferably from a musical, no longer than one minute. Performers may sing acapella (voice alone with no accompaniment) or use an electronic music file (acceptable file formats are .MP3, .WAV, .AIF, .M4A). Email an edited music file where you will start singing to zoijones@edmt.info. The file must be able to be played and transferred (not a song off of Spotify).
What to wear to a dance audition?
Dress comfortably for a dance audition. (Clothes and clean shoes that allow you to move easily, NO sandals or thick boots.) Everyone is expected to participate in the dance audition.
What is the class/cast size?
Participants are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Depending on the number of registrants, we will have a maximum of four casts with 30 performers each. Those who apply after the first 90 spots are filled will be placed on a waiting list.
Will siblings be placed together in the same cast group? Can we request to be in a cast group with a friend?
Cast groups will be created by the artistic staff to meet the needs of the show. Siblings will be placed in the same cast. There are NO FRIEND REQUESTS for cast groups for this show.
Can parents observe rehearsals?
Only registered performers, rehearsal monitors, and staff members may be on site while rehearsals are in progress. Parents are not invited to observe.
How will drop off and pick up work?
All performers should enter EDMT through the front door entrance and arrive 10-15 minutes before their scheduled rehearsal time for check-in. After rehearsal, performers will exit EDMT through the front door. Please arrive on time to pick up your performer(s). Please exit your vehicle and come to the front door to pick up your child.
