USPA’s adaptation of the story of a naughty marionette who longs to be a real boy is filled with many children’s favorite characters, including Pinocchio, Geppetto, the Cricket, the Housecat and the Blue Fairy. Pinocchio is full of beautiful music and dancing and is a great way to introduce children to the magic of ballet. Ballet, jazz, and tap students ranging in age from 3 to 17 will perform in this lively production.
The production is directed by Julie McWilliams, Cindy Heath, and Jessica Stansbury.

Ursuline School for the Performing Arts (USPA), a member of Ursuline Campus Schools, sponsored by the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, is fully-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and provides opportunities for students of all ages who wish to pursue careers in the performing arts or who simply want to enrich their lives through music, dance, drama or the visual arts. USPA programs are open to the public, complement those offered by other schools on campus, and encourage students to explore meanings, associations and interpretations of their encounters with the arts. In addition, arts integration classes taught by USPA faculty during the school day are an important component of the educational offerings of the other four Ursuline Campus schools. USPA is housed in Angela Hall, with modern music and dance studios, rehearsal areas, and performance spaces.
