SUMMARY:Gretna Theatre presents "Pinocchio"
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the beloved tale of “Pinocchio” as performed by Gretna Theatre in The Children’s Garden Amphitheater!  \nWhen the woodworker Geppetto sees a falling star\, he wishes that the puppet he just finished\, Pinocchio\, could become a real boy. The Blue Fairy in the night grants Geppetto's wish and asks Jiminy Cricket to serve as the wooden boy's conscience. But the naive and trusting Pinocchio falls into the clutches of the wicked Honest John\, who leads him astray to Pleasure Island. Pinocchio's journey to become a real boy will resonate with children of all ages.  \nShowtimes are at 2 and 4 p.m. and are included with general admission ticket purchase. In the event of inclement weather\, the performances will be held under the tent in the Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory.
