Filament brings an expansive, freewheeling, new folk musical adaptation of this beloved story to their Northwest side Chicago stage! Six actors playing a menagerie of instruments will lead you from Geppetto’s wood shop through the land of toys, into the belly of a whale, and home again on a journey to learn what it is to be real.
Filament’s folk aesthetic will delight adults and children alike! (Recommended 4+)
The run time is about 1 hour.
A note from the Adaptor:
Pinocchio Adaptor & Composer, Tyler Beattie
“Pinocchio is at first glance a sprawling adventure, with magical creatures and journeys into wonderful and strange situations– and yet at its core what makes this story endure is the way it explorers the love of family, and the challenges and many pitfalls we encounter when we are growing up. Pinocchio is great for kids– but really it is for adults who remember how hard it was to grow up, or wonder if they ever really did.” – Tyler Beattie
