Peter Pan and Wendy Musical – Spring 2015 Production

Spring 2015 Production:  Peter Pan and Wendy Musical

Enrollment is now open.

Join the Darling children of Bloomsbury, England and their fantasies of growing up — embodied by a magical flying boy called Peter Pan and joined by a host of fairies, natives, lost boys, pirates, and mermaids.

Important Registration Information:

Registration for the performance will be capped at 30 participants, first come first serve.

Registration opens on January 9, 2015 and will close on March 12, 2014, one week before the first rehearsal, in order to give the director time to finalize the script.

All participants are asked to attend auditions on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 2:00pm hosted at the Harrisburg YMCA.  If  your child wants to know their role before they commit to participating, they are welcome to attend auditions prior to registering, and can register afterwards.

Children who do not attend auditions are still invited to participate, but should anticipate filling supporting and ensemble roles.
