Ohio Valley School Theatre Tour, Athens, OH
Producers, here is a great play for touring to local schools!
Creative staging, innovative ideas, minimal set and costumes make
this adaptation easy to stage and stunningly unique!
"Probably the most exciting thing is that the style of this
piece involves the audience to participate in certain moments - to
engage actively in the make-believe that's being created.
J
Audience Participation: Children become toys and clocks in Geppetto's
shop, sing a lullaby to Pinocchio, help Hickory Cricket save
Pinocchio and make the sounds and jaws of the Great and Terrible Whale!
Pinocchio, is a fun and physical show suitable for all ages.
All the
familiar characters are there: Geppetto, the Blue Fairy, a certain
cricket, and the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy."

How to Make A Puppet's Nose Grow?
Valley Center
Stage, North Bend, WA
Look closely. Lucky Star, Blue Fairy's friend,
carries a star wand with long wooden pole/handle.
When Pinocchio lies to the Blue Fairy, Lucky Star
stands behind Pinocchio and places pole on his shoulder. Another
cast member uses a slide whistle to make "growing"
sound. It's simple, easy, and works like a charm!
