Learn more about our eventsThe Adventures of a Wooden Boy
Inspired by the classic Pinocchio story (by Carlo Collodi) of a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy, and Buratino’s tale (by Alexei Tolstoy) of cleverness, adventure, and the fight for freedom, this performance is reimagined with a fresh twist.
Follow the journey of a curious puppet who dreams, stumbles, learns, and discovers the true magic of courage, friendship, and self-discovery. This enchanting story brings together two beloved traditions, creating a magical experience for audiences of all ages.
Experience the wonder as kids and youth performers bring this enchanting story to life on stage! For some, it’s their very first time performing under the spotlight, while others already shine with experience. Together, they’ll create an unforgettable performance filled with music, magic, and holiday spirit.
Don’t miss this chance to celebrate the talents of young artists and be part of a community event full of joy, imagination, and inspiration.
Bring your family, share the magic, and let the story of Pinocchio warm your hearts this winter!
