"PINNOCHIO" WORLD PREMIERE AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF DANCE

This summer in the Spa City, The Creative Place International (CPI), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing exciting cultural resources in Saratoga Springs in collaboration with the NMD School of the Arts, will present PINOCCHIO, a new stage version of the beloved children's tale--with music!

The new PINOCCHIO is a play with music for family audiences adapted by Mary Jane Hansen from a script by Don Raffaello Lavagna, based on the story by Carlo Collodi, with music by Alberico Vitalini adapted by Will Severin.

Saratogian Mary Jane Hansen is an accomplished playwright, most recently the author of SARATOGA CHIPS, presented last August at The Arts Center. Her husband, Will Severin, was music director for SARATOGA CHIPS and is a noted composer of works for television and the stage. The author of the original script, Monsignor Don Raffaello Lavagna, is an internationally recognized librettist and the former director of Vatican Radio in Rome, Italy. His collaborator, composer Alberico Vitalini, captures the lively spirit of the classic story with authentic Italian flair.
