Three Eyes on Pinocchio at italytime

italytime the first Italian Cultural Center in NYC is coming out with their first play of the season Three Eyes on Pinocchio, directed by Vittorio Capotorto to be performed at Our Lady of Pompeii Theater, 25/B Carmine Street, New York, NY 10014. As the American Culture grew up with hero’s such as Spiderman and Batman, italytime chose to tell the story of Pinocchio to introduce an Italian hero that showcased the Italian Culture and fairytales we grew up with. The play is based on three chapters of the original story written by Collodi and published in 1880. The author Dacia Maraini, one of the most popular Italian living novelists, asked a college professor and a journalist to offer their takes on two episodes, Pinocchio Meets the Fox and the Cat & Pinocchio in Playland, while she wrote the main one, Pinocchio rescued by The Fairy. This is how Three Eyes on Pinocchio was born.
