The Playhouse kids, teens, professionals and volunteers take us to Neverland with fabulous onstage flying by international special effects company, Hall Enterprises.
Founder and East Tennessean Delbert Hall of Johnson City, former faculty for theater at Tennessee Governor’s School of the Arts, is choreographing the flying of Peter, Wendy, John, and Michael himself.
Playhouse teens Austin Price and Loren Safdie of Cumberland County, experienced young professionals and interns trained in CCP programs and productions, bring genuine youth to the role of Peter, with popular Jason Ross as the villainous and funny Captain Hook.
Lauren Tranberg of Cumberland County and Jessica Owensby of Knox County alternate the role of Wendy, with Logan Malicoat of Roane County and Crystal-Marie Alberson of Overton County alternating as 9-year-old Michael.
Ian Sweitzer and Leigh Smith of Cumberland County portray 12-year-old John, with Sara Nelson of Cumberland County and Lani Short of Putnam County in the role of Tiger Lily.
CCP favorite Daniel Black romps as Mr. Smee, and Carol Irvin steals scenes (and generates howls) as the nursemaid sheepdog, Nana.
CCP provides performing arts training and experience to hundreds of area youth each year. Stars of "Peter Pan" include Tennessee kids and teens and adults from a dozen counties who join with the professional company to portray the Lost Boys, Indians, and Pirates.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $19 for seniors, and $11 for kids/students. Tickets can be purchased from the Playhouse Box Office at (931) 484-5000.
