THINK TEATRING

Scene 1

Some music is heard, the curtain opens. We see a puppet workshop full of wooden toys. Geppetto
enters to the scene carrying a wooden trunk and he placed on a chair. Geppetto is tired.
Geppetto: (Looking at his puppets) Hello, my little friends. I’m here.
He puts his coat and hat on a chair.
Geppetto: Look, look what I found in the woods, eh? A nice piece of wood.
Grabbing the sleeve of his coat, greeting him as if it were a person.
Geppetto: H ello my new friend, how are you?
Geppetto goes to sit down on another chair, putting the piece of wood in front of it, but he falls onto
the floor.
Geppetto: Auuuu!
We can hear a child giggle.
Geppetto: What? Who is laughing?
We hear the laughter again and Geppetto realizes that it was the tree trunk.
Geppetto: Oh! It’s you! My new friend. I see!!! You like to play like a child. Mmmmm, let me see. Yes!
You will be a child!
Geppetto puts the wood inside a box and starts working with it. There is some music while
Geppetto is working. Geppetto makes a wooden puppet.
(Looking inside the box) Oh! Perfect! Now, the strings. (Geppetto puts the strings on
the puppet)
Perfect! You’re ready. Come and meet your new friends.
Geppetto picks up the puppet strings and the actor comes out of the box acting like a puppet.
Geppetto introduces Pinocchio to his other puppets.
Geppetto: Look! This is my workshop, and these are my friends. This is Pichu. Carlo and Mou. And
this is...a...a...mmmmm. Pinocchio! Do you like it?
Pinocchio laughs.
Geppetto: I think you like it...Pinocchio will be your name. My friends, this is Pinocchio.

Geppetto yawns.
Geppetto: (Yawning) Aaaaaaa! I am very tired. Today I have worked hard. Time to go to sleep.
Geppetto sits Pinocchio on a chair.
Geppetto: Good night my friends. Goodnight Pinocchio. (Geppetto strokes Pinocchio and he
laughs) Thank you Pinocchio, you’re a good boy. If you were a real child you could really
help me, and I could teach you many things. If you were a real boy. A real boy...real.
Geppetto falls asleep.

Lights down, we can heard a sweet melody. A Fairy Godmother enters into the Geppetto’s house
looking for Pinocchio.
Sofia: Oh! Very nice! You must be Pinocchio. (Looking at Geppetto) Good work, my old friend.
This is your best work and I am going to give you a gift. Well, here we go Pinocchio. Come

Sofia: H ello Pinocchio.
Pinocchio: H ey!
Sofia: Pinocchio raise your hand. (Pinocchio raises a hand) Good! Stretch one leg. Good!
Shake your head. Ok and now stand up. Very good.

Sofia: Beware! You should be careful with fire.
Pinocchio: Why?
Sofia: Because you are made of wood, you are a wooden boy.
Pinocchio: Well. I will be careful with fire.

The Pinocchio’s nose begins growing.
Pinocchio: Auuuuuuuuu. My nose. It’s huge. Why?
