In Friends SS1.Ep1, 15:40, there's a conversation:
Joey: Yeah, I'm an actor.
Rachel: Wow! Would I have seen you in anything?
Joey: I doubt it. Mostly regional work.
Monica: Oh wait, wait, unless you happened to catch the Reruns' production of Pinocchio
Chandler: "Look, Geppeto. I'm a real live boy."
I'm not understand what she means. Could anyone explain it to me?

The complete line is:
'Oh wait, wait,' appears to have been spoken in the transmitted show. Reruns' is a mishearing, and is widely reproduced on the web. The remark is a humorous mockery of Joey's claim to be an 'actor' - Pinocchio is a wooden puppet. 'Wee Ones' are very small children; the phrase is often used as a kindergarten name or as a category of entertainment for the very young, and clearly, here, 'Wee One' is the name of a children's theatre company. Given the New York setting of 'Friends', the Theatre in the Park is probably the community theatre of that name in that city's Central Park.
