DreamWrights Youth and Family Theatre to Present PETER PAN, 2/8-24
by BWW News Desk - January 24, 2013
When DreamWrights Youth and Family Theatre voted to do Peter Pan and Wendy, the big question was: 'how are we going to make them fly?'

After many talks and production meetings, we decided to try two creative and very exciting ways to simulate flight. Come and see!
