PIN* AND THE BLUE FAIRY Adin Walker & noah kat baus, in collaboration with OUTLIERS Theatre Co.
About This Show
“PIN* AND THE BLUE FAIRY is a new play based on Collodi’s classic The Adventures of Pinocchio that examines the wooden puppet’s journey to become a proper boy through the eyes of a contemporary trans teenager named Blue. As Blue attempts to find their own path, they turn to Pin’s tale, and their stories intertwine in a search for understanding, transformation, and personal truth.
Co-created by translator/writer noah kat baus and director/choreographer Adin Walker, and produced by OUTLIERS Theatre Co, PIN* AND THE BLUE FAIRY brings together a collaborative team of queer, trans, non-binary, and non-cis artists for a special work-in-progress showing!”
Featuring
Jesse James Keitel as Blue, *Tom Phelan as Pin, Jerry Clicquot as Blue’s Father / Geppetto, Jax Jackson as Ensemble, Ian Fields Stewart as Ensemble, *Soph Menas as Ensemble, Raven White as Ensemble
