Children's Plays for School Shows! How to Make A Puppet's Nose Grow? Children's Plays for School Shows!
It's easy to make Pinocchio's nose grow! See how Lucky Star makes Pinocchio's nose grow?  This is explained in the script!
A Terrific Production by Valley Center Stage, North Bend, WA!

Look closely. Lucky Star, Blue Fairy's friend, carries a star wand with long wooden handle.  When Pinocchio lies to the Blue Fairy, Lucky Star stands behind Pinocchio and places pole on his shoulder.  Another cast member uses a slide whistle to make "growing" sound.  It's simple, easy, and works like a charm!


PINOCCHIO
SCRIPT SAMPLE

The story is just as you remember it. Here Pinocchio is about to get into trouble... again!
(Script pages 17-18)

FIBBER:  Good day, young sir.  What was that I heard your friend saying?

LEFTY:  (Yeah, what was he saying?)  Meoooow...????

PINOCCHIO:  Oh nothing.  Just  that I can't see the show because I'm a puppet.

FIBBER:  Hmm...  How peculiar. 

(FIBBER and LEFTY circle around PINOCCHIO, examining.)

I've never seen a puppet that walks and talks before...

LEFTY:  (Me neither.)  Meerrrroow...

(LEFTY lifts PINOCCHIO's hat, FIBBER looks under his coat.  LEFTY takes PINOCCHIO's book and hands it to FIBBER.  They play with it passing it back and forth so that PINOCCHIO can't get it.  PINOCCHIO laughs at their fun.)

PINOCCHIO:  (Giggling.)  Hey! 

FIBBER:  How'd you like to make a buck or two, hmmm?

LEFTY:  (Hmmm?)  Mewwwww?

PINOCCHIO:  Not right now.  I have to go to school.

FIBBER:  Ah, I see you are a puppet.  All puppets are stupid.

(FIBBER and LEFTY cross their arms and turn their noses up in disgust.)

PINOCCHIO:  Hey!

FIBBER:  School is for little puppets.  Real boys skip their lessons and get into show business.

(LEFTY strikes a dramatic pose.)

The old razzle dazzle...

(LEFTY does a quick  soft shoe, takes a dramatic bow.)

PINOCCHIO:  The old razzle dazzle, huh?

(PINOCCHIO tries to imitate LEFTY.  His wooden awkward feet get tangled and he falls.)

FIBBER:  Not bad.  How'd you like to be...

(FIBBER and LEFTY strike a starry pose...)

A star!

PINOCCHIO:  A star!  That would be much more fun than going to school.

FIBBER:  We can put your name in lights, kid.  Of course, it will cost you a quarter.

PINOCCHIO:  That's no problem.  I have one right here!

(PINOCCHIO zips out his coin.  FIBBER takes it, bites it, slips it in his coat.) 

FIBBER:  Lefty?

(LEFTY grabs one of PINOCCHIO's arms.)

LEFTY:  (Here we go!)  Merp!

(FIBBER grabs the other.)

FIBBER:  Oh, we're going to have lots and lots of fun...
