Pinocchio at Riverside Live @ PHIVE

Experience the timeless tale of Pinocchio in a brand-new ACO Families Production brought to life with live music. There is a boy who was made. And though his papa (who is also his sculptor) sees him as more than enough, he sees himself as less. Because he isnt a real live boy. But he does have a gift. In a world of half-truths and fake news, his nose knows. So when he sets off into the world, Pinocchio finds that he can smell a rat. And also ride in a whale. And act like an ass (when he gets turned into one). And outwit a cat and outfox a fox. And befriend a cricket. And nurse a fairy back to health. And eventually save his dad Geppetto. And in doing all these things, he proves himself real and gets out alive. He becomes a real live boy or does he? Let your imagination take flight in our brand-new ACO Families production Pinocchio. With an original score played live on stage, this reimagined tale is filled to the brim with joy, wonder and just a touch of real magic. Written by award-winning playwrightFinegan Kruckemeyer, with an original score by Bryony Marks, and directed by Tim McGarry,Pinocchio is a celebration of courage, love and the spark that makes us human.
