'Pinocchio!' at Industrial Strength Theatre is no wooden production; it's alive with charm

For a guy who starts out as a block of wood, Pinocchio certainly gets around. Early in life, this trouble-prone marionette finds himself matching wits with con artists in a lonely forest, escaping a dastardly coachman's clutches in a mischief-filled metropolis and rescuing his father, Geppetto, from the belly of a giant fish. And that's not even counting the extra distance covered by the end of his sometimes-lengthening nose.
