Geppetto, a gentle woodcarver, carves a marionette to be his substitute son and a good fairy brings the toy to life. Yet he is not a human boy. He must earn the right to be real by proving that he is brave, truthful and unselfish. Even with the help of Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio gets into trouble. Yet, when he discovers that Geppeto has been swallowed by a whale, he selflessly risks his life to save his father. PINOCCHIO runs March 4-14, 2010. It is directed and choreographed by Stephanie Judkins and is underwritten by Kraft Foods, Charlotte and Olivia Crowder, Star 105.1, 92.9 Bass Country, and the Missouri Arts Council.

Octarium, the nationally recognized Kansas City based vocal octet, will perform their newest concert “Should Have Been Choral” on Friday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m. in Stone Chapel at Drury University. The concert is free and open to the public. The concert is sponsored by the Drury University Student Advocates for the Arts. Octarium is Latin for “Eight as One,” and the name defines Octarium’s mission: Eight singers, one choral voice. The group’s “Should Have Been Choral” touring program is a collection of a cappella songs originally composed as orchestral symphonies, music from Broadway shows and pop songs. The concert features the likes of Rossini, ABBA, Billy Joel, Bernstein and Rimsky-Korsakov. Krista Lang Blackwood, the current artistic director, founded Octarium in 2003. As the director of choirs at a large Kansas City church, Blackwood hired eight section leaders to support her choral program in 2001. The group has released four CDs.
