“Dreams are what you make them” in this new adaptation of the classic children’s fantasy. Geppetto, a lonely Italian toymaker, dreams of having a family, but when
his wish is unexpectedly granted, he is shocked to be in the company of a talking puppet! When the two don’t quite get along, Pinocchio ventures off on his own.

Now, it’s up to Geppetto to shape up and save Pinocchio from danger in this comedic cat-and-dog chase around Europe. Join Pinocchio as he learns important lessons in
honesty and morality, while Geppetto has a few lessons to learn on growing up as well.

This performance takes place at the PNC Arts Annex. 60 minutes.

Produced by The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati.
