We've all done it. Whether we didn't want to hurt our friend's feelings or just didn't feel like crawling out of bed to go to work that one morning--we've all fibbed at one point or another. Luckily our noses are intact, even though we've all been pulling a Pinocchio for years. Now it's time to learn from the legend himself with Casa Manana's live production of Disney's My Son Pinocchio. Enjoy a visit from all your fairytale friends, including Blue Fairy, Stromboli and Geppetto ,and sing along to classics like "When You Wish Upon A Star" and "I've Got No Strings." The show runs Thursday through March 6 at the Casa Manana Theatre, 3101 West Lancaster Ave. in Fort Worth. Tickets are $16 to $18. For tickets and showtimes, call 817-332-2272 or visit casamanana.org.
