How do I know if I am real?

When the puppet Pinocchio magically springs to life, woodcarver Geppetto is astounded. How could this be? But just as the pair starts to figure out a life together, Pinocchio’s mischievous ways lead him nose-first into an adventure of carnivals, crooks, fairies, and crickets, where he must learn what it really means to be real.

Join us for a whale of a time in Christmas 2024! With charming original music and captivating puppetry, this fresh retelling of a beloved classic will be a magical experience for all the family.
