Lost boys, pirates invade MGR stage

The opening scene of “Peter Pan” contains one of those select moments that is more than special. When Peter tells young Wendy, John and Michael Darling about Neverland, J.M. Barrie's play seizes the audience's imagination in so brisk a manner that the moment becomes transcendent. At that moment, the parents join their children in believing in the world's magical possibilities.

The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse will realize this moment when they bring “Peter Pan” to its stage starting Wednesday, June 27.

To immerse audiences in the illusion of Neverland, the Playhouse's costume shop has spent countless hours designing and crafting the dress of Peter Pan and Captain Hook.
