This is a new, fast-paced, story-within-a-story version of the classic Pinocchio tale.
Truth, trouble, and a talking puppet… no lie – this show is a must -see! Get your tickets today!

By Sandra Fenichel Asher and José Casas.
Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas share a fence, but little else. Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement – until the resulting mariposa/butterfly , and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness, and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share.
Mariposa / Butterfly is a Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) production, which means it’s specifically designed to be a first-time theatre show for ages 2-5. With a shorter run time, fewer words in the script, and interactivity with the actors, it’s the perfect family outing for our littlest audience members!
Don’t miss this beautiful story in full bloom – buy your tickets now and fly with us!

We are particularly proud of our Pay What You Will program.
**Sensory friendly performances are designed to be a safe environment for young people with sensory sensitivities or disabilities, as well as first time theatre goers. We encourage patrons to speak freely, respond, and move around the seating area in reaction to the story. Environmental elements including lighting and sound are also altered to make the space more comfortable for our sensory sensitive audience members. All Sensory Friendly performances are also Pay What You Will – call or visit our Box Office to pay whatever you would like for your tickets to these shows.
