Pinotito thrills families

Hundreds of children and their parents turned up at the Botanic Gardens to witness Pinotito, an elaborate and entertaining stage production, presented by Carvalho Productions.

Pinotito was the second instalment of Family Nights under the Lights put on by the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries and sponsored by bpTT, Atlantic, Caribbean Airlines and other corporate entities.

The two-hour production comprised skits and stories produced by Fareid Carvalho and directed by Penelope Spencer with elaborate costumes, dances and funny dialogue.

Clarence Rambharat, Minister of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries addressed the crowd, commended the organisers and thanked sponsors.

The event was geared towards fostering family togetherness in the Yuletide season.

Family Nights under the Lights continues on Saturday at bpTT Resource Centre, Mayaro, with Santa and Friends from 4.30 pm, followed by Movie Night from 6-8 pm and then on Sunday, at the Botanic Gardens, Port of Spain, with a movie night from 5.30 pm.
