Barrie. Escape to Neverland as the Lost Boys battle Captain Hook and his wily band of pirates. Show your support for Tinker Bell, letting her and all around you know that you do believe. See the magic come to life as the Darling family flies off to join the adventures of the boy who will not grow up, Peter Pan. Here is your chance to be a member of the cast for this family classic. We are looking for Lost Boys, pirates, Tiger Lilly’s “Tribe,” and the Darling family as Peter Pan flies onto the Pfeiffer Hall stage! And, of course, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and the rest of the cast. All roles are open. Perfect entertainment for the entire family and a great way to spend a summer. Make the trip to Neverland with your friends and family.

“Jesus Christ Superstar”
Directed by Susan Craig-Olsen
Performance Dates: June 28, 29, 30 and July 5, 6, 7 Ages: 14 and up Cost: $150
About: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote “Jesus Christ Superstar” as a “concept” album. It later became a smash hit Broadway musical in 1971 and added a new dimension to musical theatre: the rock opera. It won five Tony Awards including best original score, which, for Lloyd Webber is an uncharacteristic blend of rock, heavy metal and theatrical pop that many grew up on in the 1970s. Rice’s interpretation of Jesus’ last days and Judas’ motives are somewhat unconventional, if not thought provoking. “Jesus Christ Superstar” offers a combination of powerful, unforgettable music and the wrenching emotion of the greatest story ever told.
