Photo Flash: PINOCCHIO At MCCC's Kelsey Theatre

Lonely old Geppetto carves himself a son out of wood. No sooner does he complete the job than the puppet springs to life. But Pinocchio is not yet a real boy. First he must prove himself worthy. After many missteps - and a nose that grows longer with each one - Pinocchio finally learns the important lessons of honesty, bravery and loyalty that ensure his entry into the human world.
