The characters of J.M. Barrie’s classic children’s novel Peter Pan come to life in the Twinsburg Community Theatre’s production of Peter Pan: The Musical, adapted by Piers Chater Robinson.

The show opens Friday, Jan. 27, at 7 P.M. in the Twinsburg High School Auditorium.

Join Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and of course Tinker Bell, who along with the Lost Boys, battle the sinister Captain Hook and his pirate crew. Along the journey you’ll befriend Tiger Lily and her tribe, and reawaken your belief in fairies.

Newly hired directors Jim Volkert, producing director, and Shonna Talley Nitzel, artistic director, take charge of a cast of 170, including talented children as young as five years old. For more than 15 years, the Twinsburg Community Theatre has been helping to provide the experience of live stage performance to the community of Twinsburg, while instilling a sense of pride, self-esteem and self-confidence in children and adults.
