Synopsis of Scenes
In 1940, Walt Disney Studios released its second
feature-length animated ! lm, “Pinocchio.” At that time
the movie was regarded for its realistic animation
and won two Academy Awards. In 2000, Disney
released, “Geppetto,” a new live-action T.V. movie
starring Drew Carey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The
movie turned the traditional story on its head by
exploring Pinocchio’s quirks from Geppetto’s point
of view. In 2006, the movie was adapted for the the
stage and renamed, “My Son Pinocchio.”

“When you wish upon a star,
makes no di! erence who you are.
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
If your heart is in your dream,
no request is too extreme.
When you wish upon a star
your dreams come true.
Like a bolt out of the blue,
fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star
your dreams come true.”

Who’s Who?Greg Holt (Director) received a Master’s in directing from the University
of Denver, and has directed in Chicago, Washington D.C., and St. Louis.
He is the Artistic Director at the Waterloo Community Playhouse (where
Spamalot is playing until June 11th). This is the sixth North Star show
that Greg has directed, and he says, “I am delighted, as always, to be a
part of North Star’s drama project.” Greg would like to thank his lovely
family for their support!
Bill Close (Set Design) is an award-winning pastel and wood artist, who
enjoys life on his small acreage while spending his time “traveling, mowing,
and making art.” He retired in 2002 after 33-years of teaching art at Peet Jr.
High in Cedar Falls where 9th grade classes made the 23 “mega-sculptures”
that are featured in a book, “BIG,” Bill published last year. He has provided his
expertise to North Star for six plays and two art shows.
Chelsey Linza (Blue Fairy) volunteered to play Veruca Salt in “Willy Wonka,”
in 2011 and states she “fell in love with the participants, and North Star, as an
organization.” So much so, that she has worked for North Star as a Day Hab
Specialist for six years! Chelsey lives in Waterloo and enjoys photography.
She would like to say, “Thanks to Ethan and Darlene for their love and
support.” This is Chelsey’s fourth North Star credit.
David Stamp (Geppetto) has worked on many shows at the Waterloo
Community Playhouse, Black Hawk Children’s Theatre, and Cedar Falls
Community Theatre. By day he is an attorney, by night he plays in the band,
“Sideshow Bob.” David, his wife Linda, and all three of their sons are active in
music and theatre. However, David relates, “they are all far more talented at
these things than I am, so you should see them if you can!”
Joy Thorson (Stage Manager) has appeared in 20 shows at the Cedar Falls
Community Theatre, and recently made her Waterloo Community Playhouse
debut. Retired from UNI, Joy and husband, Rod, have two daughters and four
grandchildren. Joy shares that she has been to Tanzania twice and is the vice-
president of the Cedar Falls Food Co-Op (coming Fall 2018).

Director’s Notes
Pinocchio (“eye made of pine”) originally appeared, in a
story by Carlo Collodi, 135 years ago. Disney popularized
little Pinocchio’s story further in the 1940 movie. And now
North Star is giving the wooden puppet new life on the
GBPAC stage!
It has been a delightfully fun adventure. The folks at North
Star, and the many volunteers who help with each production, have made
this a journey worth savoring. And collaborating with talented artists, like set
designer, Bill Close, is a particular joy.
A special thanks goes out to each of you as well. This is a welcoming
community - one that celebrates diversity - and feels that each person has
something to o� er. That is a valuable quality to have, and one that makes us
all stronger.
In the show, Pinocchio sings a song with his fellow puppets about the strings
that tie them down. But, Pinocchio is unique because he has no strings
holding him down. All of us should celebrate the moments in our lives when
we are able to feel that freedom too! This performance o� ers all of the actors
just such a special opportunity. It’s a chance to leave behind the constraints of
daily life and shine on stage.
We want you to enjoy the show - listen to your conscience - “wish upon a star,”
and may all your “dreams come true!”
- - Greg Holt
If you enjoyed the show, please consider
a gift to help North Star continue projects
like this in the future!
