The North Carolina Theatre for Young People presents Pinocchio, by Greg Banks, and based on the story by Carlo Collodi. 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 NEWFAST-PACED, story-within-a-story version of the classic Pinocchio tale.
