The Cast and Crew of Palestine Community Theatre’s Summer Production of My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto’s Musical Tale is hard at work preparing a sensational show for you. The fruits of their labor of love will hit the stage of PCT’s historic home, the Texas Theatre in downtown Palestine, July 26-28 and Aug. 2-4.
With over 50 cast and crew members, there’s sure to be someone you know on the stage, so come out and support the Arts in East Texas and your friends and neighbors as they entertain you with this classic tale. Thanks to show sponsor, Ecolab, PCT is able to bring you the story of Pinocchio as told (musically of course) by his father, Geppetto. There’s new music from Stephen Schwartz, the composer of Wicked, and there’s the Disney music you know and love. You’ll want to experience it all as you watch Geppetto learn, with help from the Blue Fairy and her Fairies in Training, some hard lessons about parenting and unconditional love.
Tickets, which are $15 for adults and $10 for students 18 and under, are available locally at Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce, Palestine Visitors Center, and Discount Pools or online at www.thetexastheater.com. There will be a complimentary reception for opening night, Friday, July 26, starting at 6:30 PM. Performances will begin Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM at 213 W. Crawford.
