Pinocchio, presented by Theatre Presto, will take place on 19 December 2026 at the Scottish Mask and Puppet Centre in Glasgow. The performance features Gepetta as the pantomime Dame and includes a sing-along of Christmas songs. Ticket pricing can be checked on the website.
Gepetta is our pantomime Dame in Preston's fun packed panto, followed by a sing-along of your favourite Christmas songs in this hour long extravaganza; actors, fabulous singing, audience interaction and much hilarity to be had by all. "We loved Preston’s panto!....The atmosphere was brilliant......It’s one of the funniest hours of the year!" Michael Barnett. Written and devised with original music by company director Preston Clare. Family Tickets Available £12.50 each. Geppetta McGintty crafts Pinocchio from wood because she has always desired to have a child of her own. The Blue Fae hearing her wish for a real boy, and despite being a bit scatter brained eventually finds the right spell to bring Pinocchio to life! But he will only become a real boy, if he can demonstrate that he is good. His conscience, represented by the audience, guides him, and each time he lies, the audience knows because his nose grows longer! Pinocchio is convinced to skip school and visits the Island of Fun, where he nearly transforms into a donkey. Upon learning that Pinocchio didn't attend school, Geppetta goes in search of him but is swallowed by the Sea Monster. The Blue Fae informs Pinocchio. What will Pinocchio do? Will he remain on Fun Island, orwill his conscience urge him to attempt to rescue Geppetta? Will he become a REAL BOY? Craft Activity, Colour-in and Cut-Out Puppets and Masks Kits in our cafe from one hour before and after the show. Lots of Christmas designs to choose from: Fairies, Reindeer, Santa's, Snowmen, Crowns, Penguins, Mermaids, Cinderella and much more. All materials provided at the cafe tables, felt tips, scissors and hole punches £2.50 each £6.00 for 3 or 4 for £8.00.
