About Pinocchio

Imagine coming to life to discover you are different, then being sent to school on your first day in the world! Pinocchio certainly has a lot to take in his tiny stride.

Using the classic elements of this tale – a poor woodcarver, the tell-tale growing nose, the dream of becoming a real boy – S&N add their hallmark hilarity, cleverness, puppetry, music, incredible staging, outstanding performers and extraordinary physical tricks, in their most ambitious production to date.

Three very funny men seek refuge in a grand but abandoned old house, where they gather around an extraordinary dining table that becomes their playground. Grandfather, Father and Son tell tales of growing up; one of them used to be Pinocchio and it turns out he’s had quite a life!… S&N are leaders in family theatre and Director Niki McCretton has children’s sensibilities in her heart and connecting families as her mission.

Our shows are a catalyst for creative conversations and families want to talk about them. ‘How did they do that?’ is a common question. Children want to act out the story and play games based on the games played in the show.

We say ‘Invest in your children’s imaginations and take playfulness home with you!’

Suitable for all the family, ages 3+.
