Running Rabbit Family Theatre presents Pinocchio July 22, 2010

A time honored classic is given the trademark "RRFT spin" in this fanciful version of PINOCCHIO by Patricia Goldberg (book) and Kevin Arruda (music & lyrics). Directed by RRFT co-founder Ellen Beattie, this whimsical adaptation is the story of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who is magically given the gift of animation by the loving Blue Fairy. Gepetto, the puppet maker, sends the puppet out into the world, hoping Pinocchio will learn how to become a real boy. On his fantastic journey, Pinocchio encounters a wiley team of a cat and a fox, is captured by an evil puppeteer who seeks to exploit the puppet's unusual talent and is coaxed into an amazing trip to a candy island and then to the belly of a whale!
