AveKids presents Disney’s “My Son Pinocchio Jr.” for four performances this weekend at the Auburn Avenue Theater.
Show times are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with 2 o’clock matinees Saturday and Sunday at the historic theater, 10 Auburn Ave.
The classic tale of toymaker Geppetto’s little wooden puppet is given new life. This new musical, which retells the classic Disney story from Geppetto’s perspective, features the beloved classic songs, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” alongside a host of new songs by Oscar- and Grammy Award-winner and master melodist Stephen Schwartz, tackling timely issues about what it means to be “the perfect child” – and what it means to be “a real father.”
The show is presented by Spring Break Theater Camp.
Tickets are $8.
