The classic story of a puppet who wishes to become a real boy. In this fresh, modern re-telling of a boys innnocence, we embrace the ideas of 'Green Theatre', exploring today's challenges of good verses evil, all beautifully wrapped up in a highly engaging story complete with fairies, talking whales, heroes and naughty villains, to entertain and delight children and grown ups alike.

A magical mix of storytelling and new musical numbers, sprinkled with the important ingredients for sustainability, accountability, and caring for our environment and community.

This year's pantomime is a new adaptation of the Pinoccio story, written and directed by Hazelle Woodhurst-White and Kingsley Sage.
