Last Weekend for "Peter Pan"

The boy who refuses to grow up takes flight this weekend for three more shows at (the new) Huntington High School.

The classic musical Peter Pan will be presented by First Stage Theatre Company at the Huntington High School Auditorium at 1 Highlander Way in Huntington, W.Va., on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 7 and 8 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.00 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under.

The stage show tells the story of the boy from Never-Never Land who refuses to grow up, and his adventures with Wendy, Michael, John and the Lost Boys, as they fight the evil Captain Hook and his band of pirates.

The show includes a cast of more than 80 young actors and features professional flying effects provided by the ZFX company, which allows Peter to soar across the stage.

The performance will also include a pre-show featuring Tinkerbellettes and Little Pirates.

The directing team includes director Mary Smirl, musical director Lara Donahoe and producer Elaine Young. For more information, call 304-416-KIDS (304-416-5437).

The First Stage Theatre Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts. Peter Pan kicks off the company's 19th season.
