Beef & Boards Pyramid Players Present PINOCCHIO Through November 19

It takes magic to bring a wooden puppet to life, but the Beef & Boards Pyramid Players will know just what to do this fall in their production of Pinocchio.

The famous tale of a wooden puppet who yearns to be a real boy enchants audiences young and old in a one-hour musical adaptation opening Oct. 21 at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, and on stage through Nov. 19.

Come to Old Italy, where the kind-hearted puppet maker Gepetto dreams of having a son. To grant his wish, the Blue Fairy brings his wooden puppet Pinocchio to life, and the adventures begin. Like many boys, Pinocchio gets into all sorts of mischief, until he is lured to the Land of Toys by a villain Coachman. Time is running out for Pinocchio to escape before he is turned into a donkey!
Danny Kingston stars as the mischievous puppet Pinocchio, with Mark Fishback as Gepetto, and Meghan Sands as the Blue Fairy, and Dave Ruark as the Coachman.
