How
to Make A Puppet's Nose Grow?
Valley Center
Stage, North Bend, WA
Look closely. Lucky Star, Blue Fairy's friend, carries a star wand with long wooden pole/handle. When Pinocchio lies to the Blue Fairy, Lucky Star stands behind Pinocchio and places pole on his shoulder. Another cast member uses a slide whistle to make "growing" sound. It's simple, easy, and works like a charm!

Will he ever prove that he is good enough to become a Real Boy? Producers, here is a great play for touring to local schools! Creative staging, innovative ideas, minimal set and costumes make this adaptation easy to stage and stunningly unique!

This One Act Version of Carlo Collodi's famous tale was commissioned by Elly Award Winner Allen Schmeltz for Garbaeu's Acorn and Oak Children's Theater and Stage Nine's Family Series, Allen Schmeltz Productions, Sacramento, CA.
"Artistic Director Schwartz praised the writer, Kathryn Schultz Miller, whose scripts he’s used in other shows, saying “she just knows how to write this kind of audience interaction.”

"Probably
the most exciting thing is that the style of this piece involves the
audience to participate in certain moments - to engage actively in
the make-believe that's being created.”
Ohio Valley
Summer Theater
“Pinocchio,”
is a fun and physical show suitable for all ages. All the familiar
characters are there: Geppetto, the Blue Fairy, a certain cricket,
and the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy."
