Today. The world’s most famous marionette comes to life again in the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of “Pinocchio” at the D.L. Parsons Theatre. Local kids will take center stage in the musical. The story is a familiar one: Pinocchio the puppet magically begins to move himself and sets out on a quest to become a real boy. He runs into a lot of shady characters along the way and develops a bad habit of lying. In the end, of course, lessons are learned, and there’s a happy ending. At 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. D.L., Parsons Theatre at the Northglenn Recreation Center, 11801 Community Center Drive, Northglenn; 303-450- 8800. Admission is $7 for adults and $6 for students and seniors.
