BULLY GOATS GRIFF
A Touring Performance
Description: With a tweak and a twist, the children’s tale of the Billy Goats Gruff has become the perfect tool to teach elementary audiences about bullying. The two toll trolls who are bickering on a bridge have a “falling out” after Billy, the smallest of the three goats, decides to become a “bully goat.” As if paying a toll to get across the bridge wasn’t bad enough, now anyone who dares to trip-trap over the bridge gets knocked off by Billy. At first it seems funny, but the unfairness of Billy’s bullying becomes apparent when victims keep getting pushed off the bridge. In the end, a gang of mis-matched victims pull together to teach Billy a lesson. Children of all ages will love the silly characters and non-stop action in this show. Beyond the silliness, an important lesson is learned. **This class will continue to meet at Pinebrooke Community Church (80th & Simms) until April.**
