the woods and never returns to the bear’s house again.
Analysis of the major themes:

The theme in this play can be looked at from two different points of view. From the three bears point of view the theme is to never leave your house unlocked when you are not close by. If you leave your house unlocked someone may come in and eat your food and sleep in your bed. The theme from Goldilocks’ point of view is to never trespass because you do not belong on other people’s property without their permission, they could be very angry or upset.
Overall evaluation of the play:

This is a great play for children to perform. It has many characters that differ in personality. This gives the children a chance to see how fun it is to play a part that may not relate directly to their own personality. This play is full of action and keeps children’s attention. It is very important for the children to be interested in the play and what is going to happen next. The play presents two very obvious morals that children of all ages will be able to recognize.
