The Greer Children’s Theatre will perform Peter Pan Jr. Friday through two weekends, Sunday Oct. 21-30 at The Cannon Centre.
The production features Peter Pan and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell. They visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget.
In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with Tick-Tock the crocodile, the fierce Brave Girls, a band of bungling pirates and the villainous Captain Hook.
The production is based on the play by J.M. Barrie. Peter Pan Jr. has music by Carolyn Leigh and lyrics by Morris Charlap. Additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green and additional music by Jule Styne. It was originally directed, choreographed and adapted by Jerome Robbins.
• Did you know? J.M. Barrie bequeathed Peter Pan to the Great Ormand Street Hospital for Children in London, which continues to benefit from the play.
