PINOCCHIO STORY SUMMARY DOWNLOAD

Themes of self-discovery and integrity, choices and consequences, as well as the value of kindness and caring for others, permeate this play. In making this selfless choice, Pinocchio magically turns into a real human being, with all that entails. Over the course of Pinocchio’s journey, he learns about the consequences of his choices and, in the end, chooses to save his father, even if it means sacrificing his dream to be human. This character clearly shows that when he is not honest with himself or others there are consequences. The season theme at YPT this year is the Seven Ancestral Teachings of the Anishinaabek and The Adventures of Pinocchio is connected to the teachings about Honesty. What does it mean to make choices, and to care about other people in your world? The story asks the audience to think about what it means to be human. This musical theatre adaptation of The Adventures of Pinocchio with music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill is making its Canadian Premiere at YPT. This moral tale centers around Geppetto, a woodcarver, and his puppet Pinocchio who wants to become a real human being. One of the most well-known adaptations of the story is the 1940 Disney film. Over 136 years since then the story has been adapted and translated into many different languages, and is recognized around the world as a classic European folk tale.
