Lovely review: "My little boy is nearly 3 and Pinocchio was his first trip to the theatre...I was amazed. He sat still for the entire production...so lovely to be a part of." Touring: @castindoncaster @NewWolsey @CambJunction @BarnsleyCivic @electricpalace coastalmum.co.uk

Back @lighthousepoole today for our final day of rehearsals before the Pinocchio premiere.

Yesterday we had technical rehearsals and a sharing for 250 local year 4 & 5 school children. The R&D for this show involved children in Poole, so it was very fitting that they were the first people we've shown the work to. And, of course, they had some brilliant feedback for us...

We're at @thepointeastleigh this week, ramping up the Pinocchio rehearsals ahead of our upcoming World Premiere @lighthousepoole Sat 2 Oct.

Here's Tim Dalling working on a song. Tim is performing in the show too, and has been working alongside Composer @domcoyote, writing some additional songs.

If you come along to see the show, we reckon there'll be one or two opportunities for YOU to join in with the songs too!...

Work-in-progress photos of our incredible new show for families: a highly physical, humorous, musical and creative adaptation of the classic Pinocchio tale.

A huge & heartfelt thank you to our major supporters, without whom this show wouldn't be on the road to production and have the opportunity to delight thousands of young theatre-goers and their families.

Pinocchio is a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, with additional support from Lighthouse Poole, The Point and The Lyric Theatre.

The moment our gingerbread man comes to life is always our most 'ah'-inducing scene! 🤩⁠

Audiences are always amazed by this gorgeous & clever puppet suddenly coming to life, and their reaction is such a joy and a privilege to observe 😍⁠

Here's that moment in creation in the studio, back in 2017.⁠
