Audience Participation! 


Children's Plays - Pinocchio

One lonely night the Blue Fairy grants Geppetto's wish and brings his little wooden puppet to life.  So begins Pinocchio's journey as he tangles with the tricksters, Fox and Cat, and meets up with Lampwick and his no-good buddies in the Land of Toys.  Will he save Geppetto from the belly of the whale?  Will he ever prove to the Lucky Stars that he is good enough to become a Real Boy?

This innovative version of the much-loved tale uses puppets and puppeteers to tell the story while clever open staging and easy direction help you bring the magic to life!
