Pittsburgh Premiere!
Escape to Neverland for a daring adventure with Wendy, John, Michael, Tinkerbell and Peter in the ever-playful Peter Pan. This new interpretation of the classic tale is told through the eyes of a child, and includes spectacular flying, swashbuckling sword fights, giant puppets, costumes inspired by punk fashion and, of course, a little pixie dust! A Pittsburgh premiere, this magical ballet is sure to mesmerize audiences of all ages.
