Pinocchio
Music and Lyrics by Kevin Connors
Book
by Deborah Levy
Adapted from "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi
MTC's own original adaptation follows the mischievous
adventures of Pinocchio, an animated marionette,
and his poor father, a woodcarver named Gepetto.
The MTC version
will capture the magic of the original tale
while adding a few contemporary twists to
keep the story fresh with today's audiences.
