Peter Pan was a blast!

When FHHS drama teacher & play director Fred Yockers said his end-of-show remarks this weekend, “I hope you wake up in the morning & see a twelve-year-old in the mirror…” he had a whole show that told that story – stay young & stay alive, like Peter & the folks from Neverland.

Yep, there was fairy dust & people who fly & Nana the Dog & pirates & the croc with the clock & specially composed music & knockout dancing & mermaids sliding around & swordfights…this play rocked.

The nearly-three hour show was sold out with waiting lists for all four of its shows, and the production deserved it. The set was first-rate, the costumes perfect for setting the tone, and the energy & enthusiasm of the cast was infectious. Great fun….man, do we have more talent on this island than anywhere, or what???

Smooth & edgy, Tiger Lily (Lindsey Banry) and her tribe offered an amazing dance routine...photo by James Krall.
