Sowams School students ready to bring Pinocchio to life

Play will take the stage this Friday and Saturday

Posted

Sowams School students will perform Pinocchio this weekend.

The production, which is part of the Arts Alive! program, will feature dozens of Sowams School students telling the classic tale of a little wooden boy who wishes he were real. "Encountering many temptations and distractions along the way, Pinocchio has to learn about honesty, bravery, love, and what it means to be human," stated a release.

The play will also include musical numbers, such as "Got No Strings" and "When You Wish Upon A Star." 

Performances of Pinocchio will be held on Friday, Feb. 28, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 29, at 12:30 p.m.; both performances will be held at Barrington High School. Tickets cost $8 and will be available online as well as at the door (cash only) before each performance.

In addition, audience members may purchase tickets for the raffle of a Broadway Weekend Getaway for 2 at every show. At $10 per ticket, the winner of the grand prize gets to choose two tickets to a Broadway show (Disney’s Frozen, To Kill a Mockingbird, or Mean Girls), with flexible dates between May 19 and Sept. 6. The prize includes a two-night stay at a 4-star hotel in Times Square and a $100 Visa card. The drawing will be held on Saturday, May 9 after the Nayatt performance of Frozen. The winner will not need to be present at the drawing to win.
