The company who brought you The Red Balloon, Tongue and Groove Theatre is proud to present Pinocchio Commedia for a limited engagement on Austin’s historic east side. This family-friendly whimsical play is based on Carlo Collodi’s classic story and features a misfit troupe of commedia characters valiantly attempting to stage the story of Pinocchio, the living wooden puppet who longs to be a real boy.
