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 his love for his Papa is real. This is a new, fast-paced, story-within-a-story version of the classic Pinocchio tale.
“All Pinocchio wants is to be a real boy, but the world has a few surprises in store for him. This joyful adventure reminds us that it is courage, honesty, and love that truly make us human. Delightfully told by a gang of 5 hilarious Italian painters who find themselves getting caught up in the act, we hope you get swept up in the mischief, magic, and heart of their musical journey!”-Peggy Trecker White
