Catch ‘Pinnochio’ at Puppetworks

Children of all ages will enjoy a production of “Pinocchio” at Puppetworks now through Dec. 17, with a special performance on Oct. 9.

The theater company is presenting Carlo Collodi’s 1882 “Pinocchio: The Adventures of a Marionette.”

Adapted by Puppetworks’ Nicolas Coppola, “Pinocchio” features traditional hand-carved wooden marionettes, an original score, the Blue Fairy, and a “live” actor as Stromboli the Puppet Master.

Colorful scenes range from the excitement of Boobyland with its Donkey Machine to the eerie glow of undersea where the whale lives.

“Pinocchio,” now through Dec. 17. Saturdays and Sundays, 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm. Special performance on Oct. 9 at 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm. Tickets are $11, $10 for children and $9 each for groups of 20 or more. Suggested for ages 3 and up. Reservations recommended.
