The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) continues to strengthen the emirate’s position as a hub for cultural and family entertainment through its flagship destination Al Qasba, which is set to host the much-loved theatrical production Pinocchio from August 29 to 31 in the destination’s theatre "Masrah Al Qasba”.

Masrah Al Qasba brings Pinocchio to life in Sharjah

The staging follows the resounding success of Cinderella, which opened the theatre's 2025 season earlier this year, drawing large audiences and critical acclaim.

Presented in collaboration with H2 Productions, the show reimagines the timeless story of Pinocchio, the puppet carved by Geppetto and brought to life by a benevolent fairy. To become a real boy, Pinocchio must prove his courage, honesty, and selflessness, embarking on an adventure filled with challenges, humour, and valuable life lessons.
