The image is a vibrant and eye-catching promotional poster for "Pinocchio." The design features a background resembling a circus tent with red and white stripes, and the text "PINOCCHIO" prominently displayed in the center. The text appears in a bold, retro style with illuminated, marquee-like letters glowing in a bright blue color. The background behind the text looks like a night sky with a crescent moon, adding a whimsical and magical feel to the overall design. The edges of the image have a torn paper effect, revealing the night sky and "Pinocchio" text beneath the circus tent backdrop.
We are spending the day doing some R&D of our pantomime sets.
We love seeing some of the sets from previous pantomimes and exploring how we can be repurpose our old sets for new projects.
Happy Burns Night🏴
