"Peter Pan Jr." Youth Production
Our June 2024 run of Peter Pan was a smash and we closed out to a sold out, standing room only audience!
Peter Pan had actors as young as 5 on the stage. These tiny, new actors learned the ropes in the same cast as many seasoned, older actors. What a treat for all of them, both mentors and mentees!
Fundraiser is still live and shows are June 20-23. Every donation makes a difference. We can fly! We can fly! We can flyyyy!

On the night of their parents' funeral, three brothers gather in the living room of their family home and try to reckon with what has happened to them. The bare, tragic circumstances are quickly revealed. This intimate listening experience is a raw portrait of the disintegrating family, painful grief and the difficult work of finding meaning in the future; in each other. LISTEN NOW.
