The Stanislaus County Office of Education sponsors the YES Kids as they bring to life Disney’s “My Son Pinocchio Jr.” – the classic tale of toymaker, Geppetto’s little wooden puppet. This new musical, which retells the classic Disney story from Geppetto’s perspective, features the beloved classic songs, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “I’ve Got No Strings,” alongside a host of new songs by Oscar winner and Grammy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz.

 

Production commitment is extracurricular and includes weekends, Jan. 17 through early March, 2017. Performances are March 3 through 5 at the Gallo Center for the Arts. Tuition of $200 per student is in place to help defer production costs; scholarships are available. For additional information about auditions and performance times, visit www.yescompany.org.
