Akron’s Magical Theatre Company brings its touring show, Pinocchio, to the elegant environs of the Akron Civic Theatre. There it will present its version of the now-classic tale, written in the 1880s, but entering the collective consciousness with the 1940 Disney film, which made the tale of the wooden puppet who wants to become a real live boy familiar to virtually every child.
Who doesn’t know the characters of Gepetto, the wood carver who creates Pinocchio, his companion Jiminy Cricket, his pets the cat Figaro and goldfish Cleo, and the Blue Fairy who watches over him? Who can’t sing “When You Wish Upon a Star”? Who doesn’t remember how Pinocchio learned not to tell a lie? “Your nose is gonna grow” is a familiar admonition!
This production is recommended for grades K-4. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids 3-12.
