Pinocchio || April 4 - April 7, 2024
By Greg Banks
From the moment Gepetto creates him from a stick of wood, Pinocchio dreams of being a real boy. But will the all-too-tempting delights of puppet shows and Playland be too much for Pinocchio? When Gepetto is swallowed by a whale, it is up to this little puppet to show his courage and prove that his love for his Papa is real. This new, fast-paced, story-within-a-story version of the classic Pinocchio (created by Children’s Theatre Company) is perfect for the whole family.
