“Broadway Utica Presents PINOCCHIO at Mohawk Valley Community College”

Utica, NY –– Broadway Utica is thrilled to present PINOCCHIO, a spellbinding theatrical production by the internationally acclaimed Tout à Trac, at Mohawk Valley Community College’s Schafer Theatre. This highly anticipated performance will take place on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM. This family-friendly production promises to captivate audiences of all ages.

“We are thrilled to expand beyond traditional Broadway productions and bring exceptional family programming like PINOCCHIO to our community” said Danielle Padula, Executive Director of Broadway Utica. “Partnering with Mohawk Valley Community College allows us to reach new audiences and deliver high-quality theatrical experiences that inspire imagination and togetherness. This production reflects our ongoing commitment to broadening our reach and offering diverse programming for families and young audiences throughout the region.

Following their celebrated production of Alice in Wonderland, Tout à Trac breathes new life into Carlo Collodi’s timeless tale of the world’s most famous puppet. PINOCCHIO takes audiences on an extraordinary journey filled with heart, imagination, and life lessons.

Born from a talking piece of wood carved by the kind-hearted Geppetto, the mischievous and curious Pinocchio embarks on a thrilling adventure to discover what it truly means to grow up. Along the way, he faces the formidable Mangiafuoco, the Puppet Master; outwits the cunning Fox and his sly sidekick, the Cat; escapes the temptations of Toyland; and ultimately rescues his father from the belly of a giant fish.

PINOCCHIO is a celebration of childhood and imagination, skillfully blending enchanting storytelling with dazzling visuals and unforgettable performances. Families, schools, and theatre enthusiasts will be delighted by this magical production that captures the essence of one of the greatest literary classics.
