Pinocchio
PINOCCHIO
BY CARLO COLLODI
ADAPTED BY JOANNA CARRICK
Our Christmas show for 2024 is PINOCCHIO!
When Gepetto, a poor carpenter, finds a piece of wood that can talk, he carves it into a puppet and is overjoyed when it miraculously comes alive. The next morning Pinocchio the puppet sets off to school but is easily led astray by temptation, selling his ABC book to buy a ticket to a puppet show. In a madcap chain of disasters, he meets a host of extraordinary characters, including a talking cricket, a blue fairy and a giant shark. He learns to dance and to sing but will he ever learn the qualities he needs to make him into a real boy?

CHRISTMAS AT RED ROSE CHAIN
If you have never been to our Christmas shows before, they are the perfect treat for all the family!
We’re loved for our imaginative take on classic stories, filled with songs, dance and laughter for all the family to enjoy (without any innuendos or adult jokes you sometimes get at a panto!)
IPSWICH FAMILY BANK
Every Christmas we team up with our friends at Ipswich Family Bank, who house their baby bank at our theatre, to make Christmas hampers for families in need across Ipswich. So we ask our amazing audiences to bring toys, books, snacks and treats for our hamper collection at the theatre!
The Avenue Theatre has theatre bench seating with lots of accessible options.
Row A is a low ground seat that is perfect for children and families as you are very close to the action on stage, however it might not be suitable for access needs
Row D & Row E are on a raised platform with 2 small steps to access.
Row C & Row E are slightly higher seats, which means you get a great view of the stage, but it might not be suitable for access needs as your feet don’t rest on the floor.
Row B has 2 wheelchair accessible spaces with a carer seat. To book, make sure you fill out the ACCESS OPTIONS when you checkout, or call on 01473 603388 and we’ll help you to book!
There is one exit/entrance to the theatre on the left side, with lots of end of aisle seats for access needs that need to be near the exit.
If you have any questions about the seating and the best place to suit you, please give our box office a call on 01473 603388
