American Family Theater, Inc. will bring the classic story of “Pinocchio” to life at 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, in W.M. Turner Auditorium as part of the Stephen F. Austin State University College of Fine Arts' Children's Performing Arts Series. Seats are still available for both performances.
This one-hour musical adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s original 1876 story follows the outrageous escapades of Pinocchio, Gepetto’s irresistible puppet-son, as he travels from the carnival to Candyland in the belly of a whale.
“We are excited to be bringing this show back to Turner Auditorium,” said Diane J. Flynn, director of the children’s series. “The kindergartners through sixth graders who saw the show three years ago thoroughly enjoyed American Family Theater’s musical adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s original 1876 story.”
Seats are still available for both the 9:30 and 12:30 shows. Flynn encourages teachers and parents to call and place their orders now since seating is assigned on the basis of when payment is received.
Tickets are $6 for individuals and $5 each for groups of 20 or more. For tickets or more information, please call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS.
