CityParks PuppetMobile: Pinocchio and Gepetto’s Big Apple Adventure (Marine Park)
2026-06-14 11:00 - 12:00 | Marine Park, Fillmore Ave and Madison Place, Fillmore Ave and Madison Place, Brooklyn, NY
All Ages

Free

During the 2026 season, the PuppetMobile will present a fresh take on the classic fairytale Pinocchio written by Julia Darden and directed by Bruce Cannon, with set design by Zlata Godunova and costume design by Charlie DelRisco.
In this new telling, Geppetto is a New York City kid with a talent for invention, going as far as creating a robot friend in the form of Pinocchio. The story follows the pair as they tour around classic locales, from the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park to the Victorian Gardens Amusement Park, and the hijinks they get into along the way.
The production features hand-made marionettes crafted by Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre puppet builder Kevin White. In addition to the artistry of the production, viewers will be treated to original songs written and orchestrated by Daryl Kojak performed by the marionettes.

ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
NELISE BEY: Nelise is a textile artist, natural dyer, and printmaker living and creating in Brooklyn, NY. Her aesthetic is colorful and pattern-filled, a play on her Caribbean roots. Nelise works mostly with silks and other natural fibers, dyeing and silkscreening them. Her work is tied to the earth, and inspiration often calls when she’s outdoors hiking or foraging in Brooklyn and New York State.
KIMBERLY LEWIS: Kimberly Lewis is a Brooklyn-based artist, designer, and creative disruptor who believes perfection is boring and mess is magic. Molded by her creative studies at Pratt and FIT, she has spent 20+ years bending the edges of what creativity should look like, guiding both adults and kids to unlearn, reimagine, and express themselves freely through art, story, and beautiful chaos.

Wednesday, June 3 & Thursday, June 4 ~ Shared Evening: DeliaDelia + Pussypaws Puppetry

DeliaDelia! The Flat-Chested Witch! Actor and clown Amando Houser invites you to an unhinged clown hour of self-discovery.

Pussypaws Puppetry: That Paradise Place. Inclusive puppet troupe Pussypaws Puppetry presents an exuberant performance in which the love, sex, and fantasy lives of artists with disabilities blossom, pulse, sing, and sparkle. Based on 12 original love stories shared by disabled artists and adapted into puppetry spectacles, this musical celebrates eroticism as an essential element of our shared humanity.

Wednesday, June 10 & Thursday, June 11 ~ Shared Evening: Julia Antinozzi + Isa Spector

Julia Antinozzi. Choreographer Julia Antinozzi’s experimental work delves into the intersection of postmodern dance and ballet.

The work will be performed to live music by Andy Boay, a New York-based musician who has performed in Tonstartssbandht since 2007.
Isa Spector: Dionysus at the Equinox. Look at this view. This larger-than-life shining view. Almost blinding, then something like madness. Singing, dancing, darkness. The sounds of the city. Up the hill and through the trees, something new approaches. An animal? Something bigger. Something worse. An androgynous God.
Artist Isa Spector, who combines formalism and the absurd, presents an adaptation of Euripides’s The Bacchae, set in a park on a perfect summer evening.

Wednesday, June 17 & Thursday, June 18 ~ HOLE PICS

THIS IS A HOLE. THIS HOLE IS IN THE DOMINO SQUARE AMPHITHEATER. THIS HOLE GIVES SHOWS.

HOLE PICS was founded by MTHR TRSA and is produced with Buffy Sierra.

Wednesday, June 24 & Thursday, June 25 ~ Shared Evening: Kat Sotelo + Malcolm-x Betts

Malcolm-x Betts: Falling castles and broken dream. Malcolm-x Betts, an artist whose work explores embodiment, liberation, Black imagination, presents an improvisational dance performance. In a series of unfoldings that attempt to reach for otherwise. What is imagined unfolds into a deconstruction of the proposal. An unfurling into the abyss of what is seen, unseen, referenced or imagined at the end of the day everything is broken. Perhaps the only thing holding us together are fragments of the beyond.
Kat Sotelo: IS THIS BEAUTIFUL OR AM I TIRED? A chaotic, sequin-drenched birthday spectacular teeters on the edge between glory and failure. Part magic show, part pop concert, Kat Sotelo’s performance strives for transcendence, only to collapse into something softer, stranger, and sadder.
