The production, directed by Kyle Lawrence and Zazie Tobey, stars young performers from Pioneer Valley families.
The Academy of Music Theatre has announced its first Academy Youth Productions show of the season on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM. Pinocchio: My Puppet Pal is a brand-new 30-minute musical performed by children ages 6-10. Follow Katie and her puppet pal, Pinocchio, as they journey to the Harvest Festival.

The production is directed and choreographed by Education Director Kyle Lawrence and Associate Education Director Zazie Tobey, and is stage managed by Madison VanDeurzen.
The Academy will be hosting a giveaway in the lobby before the performance, and winners will be announced at the end of the show.
