Pinocchio

March 3-12, 2023 at 7 Stages

What does it mean to be a puppet in a world that is obsessed with rules? What makes a human human? These are the questions we face as we plunge into the reimagined world of the age-old story of Pinocchio, written and directed by Michael Haverty and Marium Khalid. 

This re-telling of the classic story is brought to life for adult audiences with puppetry, dance, video projections, and sensory experiences by three of Atlanta’s most risk-taking companies: The Object Group, Sky Creature Productions, and 7 Stages.

ALL PERFORMANCES SOLD OUT!

Audiences will embark on an immersive live experience through an unexpected world full of magic, treachery and desire. Incorporating all five senses, we invite you to journey with Pinocchio as he discovers the roots of his identity and comes to accept his truth.

Featuring Luis Hernandez as Geppetto, Rachel Wansker as Pinocchio, Alejandro Abarca as Head Mister, and Michael Haverty as Harlequino. Costumes by Jennifer Schottstaedt, sets by Michael Haverty, Marium Khalid, Vii Kelly and Joey Swift, and cinematography by Jess Silva.

This production of Pinocchio has been in the works for over three years. The first chapters of the tale were manifested in a film by Haverty and Khalid, released virtually in December 2021, which will be provided to ticket holders before each live performance.

The immersive live experience picks up where the film left off, with Pinocchio venturing away from home, into a curious and chaotic world.

Various tastes will be offered as the audience moves throughout the space. These are optional but encouraged! A full list of allergens will be available at the box office in the case of concern but all tastes will be vegetarian, as well as gluten, nut and dairy free.

Scents will be used to create atmospheric shifts throughout the performance. These will be misted away from the audience but will fill the space. A full list of allergens will be available at the box office in the case of concern.

Fog, haze, and flickering projections will be used throughout the performance.

Parental discretion advised – adult language and violent imagery.

While we are ADA accessible throughout our building and our experiences, we want to make sure your experience is exceptional. Please call the box office ahead of time to let us know how we can best meet your needs. 404-523-7647

7 Stages & PushPush Arts present High Risk, Baby!, an autobiofictional comedy about one woman’s outrageous reproductive journey to Ukraine, and other wild and personal reproductive stories, perspectives and prose. 

Shelby Hofer’s High Risk, Baby! is a comedy about the child within the mom, being a control freak, the patriarchy, and escaping infertility. Lenora is on a mission, but her not-so-inner child is bursting with irreverent questions about DNA, ADD, quantum physics, boners, and babies — where they come from, how they get here, and mostly, how she can get one. With hilarious and maddening advice from her sex-ed teacher, the mysterious Dr. Mark, and a bunch of ill-mannered “dolls,” Lenora and her Honey board a train for a wild adventure that leads to some unexpected destinations.  Directed by Ellen McQueen, written and performed by Shelby Hofer.

^ Check out Shelby Hofer’s preview for High Risk, Baby! ^

This hour-long performance will be followed by a collection of short pieces, hosted by Destiny Renee and Marium Khalid, in response to our bodies and the agency we have – or don’t have – in choice. Original short pieces include Hofer’s Four Embryos (a coda of sorts to her comedy High Risk, Baby!) and Theresa Davis’ What to Do When a Politician Tries to Fall into Your Vagina Feet First as well as stories from a doula, and the history of pregnancy tests. Featuring a fierce collective of performers, including podcaster Lauren Vogelbaum, doula Christy Robinson, and many more.

PLUS, join 7 Stages for Service Saturday (Feb 4, 1-4PM) and our Sunday brunch Art of Activism (Feb 5, 1-3PM) with guests from the New GA Project and Planned Parenthood.
