Long-time Wellesley Players members and town residents, Wil Breden and Barbara Tarlin are teaming up as music director and stage director to bring this new version of Pinocchio to the stage. Breden and Tarlin have collaborated on Family Theater productions many times for the Players, and this incarnation of Pinocchio promises to be another hit. All children attending the performances will have a chance to meet Pinocchio, The Blue Fairy, Geppetto and the other characters following the show when the cast sits on the edge of the stage for hellos, hugs, photos and autographs. This production is sponsored in part by a grant from The Fund for Wellesley, which provided access to the performances for families who might otherwise not have been able to attend.
