Moville panto back on stage with classic tale of Pinocchio set to delight audiences

Moville Musical Society is preparing to present its annual pantomime to help brighten the dark winter evenings in the seaside town.

This year’s production of Pinocchio will open at St Eugene’s Hall on Thursday, January 22nd, and run until Sunday, February 1st next - oh yes it will!

Actors and singers have been diligently honing their skills for the past few months, and final rehearsals are now taking place ahead of the grand opening night performance.

Pinocchio tells the classic tale of a wooden puppet brought to life by a magical fairy. To achieve his dream of becoming a ‘real boy’, he must prove himself brave, truthful, and unselfish. Led astray by bad company and his own curiosity, Pinocchio faces dangerous trials before finally learning the value of honesty and self-sacrifice.
