| Pinocchio Original Story by Carlo Collodi Adapted by Leon Katz Directed by Molly Rice The story of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi, is about a puppet and his quest to become a real boy. Geppetto, a woodcutter, has longed for a son. One day he is given a magical piece of wood and is inspired to carve a life-size puppet. He names the puppet Pinocchio and hopes that someday he will earn the gift of life by being good and honest. However, Pinocchio runs away from home and finds himself in situations where he is tempted to disobey. Unfortunately, he makes a series of bad choices and his troubles increase. Each time he tells a lie, his nose grows and eventually he turns into a donkey. Luckily, a kind Fairy guides him to learn the things he needs to know, such as patience and honesty, and he becomes a real boy. Pinocchio’s universal appeal lies on many levels: He stands between the free-spirited, self-centered world of childhood and the adult world of responsibility and community; He is a puppet without strings yet he is pulled by his own uncontrollable urges; He dreams of becoming a real boy, but his rebellious impulses keep getting in the way; He is naughty and exasperating, yet good hearted and brave. His journey toward becoming fully human is a journey we all share.
