‘The Adventures of Pinocchio’ Entertains Local Schools

Our Performing Arts students put on a show-stopping 22 showings of their annual panto. Children from local schools and families were thoroughly entertained as Pinocchio went on a wild and wonderful adventure, escaping the evil ringmaster with the help of Jiminy Cricket, our Fairy, and the hilarious Dame.
