World Premiere
Rogue Artists Ensemble
Experience the Rogue’s modern macabre retelling of Carlo Collodi’s “The Adventures of Pinocchio.” In this world-premiere play for mature audiences, the cricket is killed, Blue haunts us all, and the legendary Dogfish monster preys on our greatest fears in the tumbledown tourist trap amusement park of Shoreside, where a little wooden puppet comes to life at the hands of the wood-maker Geppetto.
Wood Boy Dog Fish is a visual feast that combines masks, highly expressive physical performance, dance, interactive sets, multiple puppetry traditions, projected media, and sophisticated special effects and illusions – including 3D enhancement to recreate a scene inside an old carnival ride. Also included were an IMMERSIVE loby experience which transported audiences into the world of Shoreside, the fictional town in which the show was based.
Winner Best Puppet Design LA Stage Ovation Award 2017, Nominated for Multiple Awards
“A breathtaking feat of theater... wildly imaginative.... a dizzying fusion of sound, lights, puppets, masks and music... The Pinocchio puppet is a spectacular creation.” — Los Angeles Times
