In a real theater setting, students will learn acting and puppeteering in order to create a one-of-a-kind script that celebrates the whole ensemble. The class culminates in a fully-produced play on our mainstage with professionally designed costumes and sets. 

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
This isn’t your typical fairy tale! Step into a shadowy world where Pinocchio’s journey is filled with eerie twists and spine-tingling encounters. Using the classic tale as our foundation, we’ll create a dark carnival-inspired version, following the wooden puppet as he fights to return to his beloved creator, Geppetto. Along the way, you’ll encounter cunning tricksters like the Fox and Cat, the menacing carnival barker Mangiafuoco, the sinister Coachman, captive puppets, mischievous children transformed into donkeys, and even a monstrous whale! Get ready for a thrilling, theatrical adventure that brings this timeless tale to life in a way you’ve never seen before!
