PETER PAN Plays The Growing Stage, 9/21-10/14

The Growing Stage, The Children's Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey will be opening its 1st production of the 2012-2013 Main Stage Season - PETER PAN – the Musical. The production is under the direction of Stephen L. Fredericks, the Growing Stage's Executive Director, with musical direction by Laura Petrie and choreography by Jillian Petrie.

Peter Pan, like its namesake, is a tale which never ages. Children and adults alike have all fallen under the spell of Neverland, a place where children can fly and exciting, frightening adventures happen every day. In 1985 Piers Chater Robinson adapted J.M. Barrie's book for the stage, and now, over 25 years later, his innovative Peter Pan musical score is well known and loved. The ever-popular characters are still there - Peter Pan, Wendy, John, Michael, the dastardly Captain Hook and his sidekick Smee, Tiger Lily, the Lost Boys, pirates, Neverland Indians, and Tinker Bell.

The Growing Stage is a professional member of the Association of Actor's Equity. Featured in the cast of twenty-seven is Emily Cara Portune in the title role as Peter Pan; Jeremy William Hilgert as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook; Danny Campos as Smee and Lori Lawrence as Mrs. Darling/Tiger Lily.

Growing Stage - The Children's Theater of New Jersey's production of PETER PAN – the Musical runs from September 21st to October 14th, with performances on Fridays at 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 4:00 p.m.

The Growing Stage introduces Fantastic Fridays with all tickets $15! Saturday and Sunday tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for children and seniors.
