KidsWorks' 'Pinocchio' keeps its ties to original work

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "An interpretation of a classic fairy tale that is true to its roots is the next KidWorks production at the Theatre Factory.
The adaptation of 'Pinocchio' by William Glennon (1923-2002) being staged at the Trafford theater more closely resembles 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' -- the original version of the 1881 story by Italian playwright Carlo Collodi -- than the more familiar 1940 Walt Disney animated film about the wooden puppet who becomes a real boy.
