<\/a>PINOCCHIO<\/strong> is a story that children love. The storyline reinforces necessary values such as honesty and the importance of family, and makes them fun! This production can require as few as\u00a0ten actors and chorus members. Conversely, it\u00a0can easily be expanded to accommodate a larger cast.

You can pull this show off with\u00a0as few as five cast members\u00a0or as many as\u00a0twenty. The scenic needs for THE EMPEROR\u2019S NEW CLOTHES provide Directors a little more leeway than some shows. You can select from a variety of medieval backdrops<\/a> to source imagery for both interiors and exteriors.
