It’s tech week, which means our new festive shows open soon. Take a peek some recent rehearsal snaps!
Pinocchio comes to life on our Main Auditorium stage this weekend. All be has ever wanted is to be a real boy. But hold on…if he wants things, surely that means he has thoughts and feelings. And if he has thoughts and feelings, then doesn’t that mean he has a brain and a heart? And if he has all that, doesn’t that make him a real boy already? Join him on a raucous and silly adventure, packed with songs and laughter. Along the way, Pinocchio makes friends, discovers what it truly means to be real, and invites you to sing along in this hugely entertaining festive show for ages 7 and up.
Over in the Studio Theatre, Santa is preparing for his busiest night of the year, Christmas Eve. Delivering presents and squeezing down chimneys is no easy task, and things get even trickier when a tiny, mischievous hitchhiker joins him, searching for a way back home. Specially created for little ones aged 3-7, Special Delivery is an enchanting musical journey is filled with wonder and captures the magic of the season.
