FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

eimagining classic tales is one of the two central ways that Childrens Theatre Company has been instrumental in introducing new productions to the world, alongside the commissioning of wholly original plays like this seasons Buccaneers. We are the p nations leader in producing new work for young n people, with over 200 new scripts produced in pe our 47 year history. Every one of those plays was made 4 possible through donations from our supporters people t just like you! For that we thank you and ask you to consider supporting us in our mission to secure the future of theatre for generations to come. When we examine classic stories, as we do with students across Twin Cities schools in our acclaimed Neighborhood Bridges critical literacy program, we ask students to look at a variety of ways the tale could be told and how that tale would be different from each characters perspective. We look for the personal story inside the tale. Pinocchio has been reimagined in many ways. Carlo Collodi would, I think, have been surprised to see how far his iconic 1883 childrens novel took his independent puppet. My own first memory with the story, like so many of my generation, occurred as a child watching the Disney movie. My mother reminds me (frequently) that the whale swallowing Geppetto was so scary to me that I needed to leave the theatre. Later that day I begged to go back to see the movie again. I had to see what had happened; I needed to know what fate befell the charactersand mom wouldnt tell me. The lesson that the world can be scary but its still worth exploring is particularly resonant to me as a parent. Live theatre is so good at allowing our audience to explore the world and its darker side safely but with an immediate impact. That theme repeats in every show this season from Buccaneers to Jackie and Me to Alices adventures in Wonderland we follow characters filled with curiosity as they investigate times and places far more dangerous than they appear at first glance This weaving together of themes both complex and earnestly simple is what draws me to work in theatre for young people. The stories on our stage may entertain but they also speak to bigger ideas and, with luck, serve to educate and inform our future leaders. Collodi was especially fond of allegory in his writings. In Pinocchio, Collodis use of a puppet who seeks independence as a way to illustrate growing up is not only a lovely image, it also reflects the independence and reunification movements that Collodi was involved with in Tuscany. Like so many great childrens tales, this story works on multiple levels and has beautifully big ideas about maturity, courage and self-reliance. In this version of the story, director and adaptor Greg Banks uses the very setting of the theatre we are in to set his stage. Tools, ladders and drop cloths take on a life of their own and transform into the setting (and even some of the characters) as though the Blue Fairy had imbued them with life. We are whisked away to join an adventure that will ultimately lead to the very dark stomach of a very big whale. How will that journey occur this time, you may well ask? Youll have to watch the show Im not going to tell you.
