Winter Musical 2015
Join us for this timeless Broadway musical about magic, adventure, and the importance of family.
Broadway's timeless classic musical whisks you away to a place where dreams are born and no one ever grows up!
Based on J.M. Barrie's classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. This high-flying TONY Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick Tinkerbell visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and with a sprinkle of pixie dust begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, and of course the villainous Captain Hook.
Featuring the iconic songs "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up," and "Never Never Land," and a rousing book full of magic, warmth, and adventure, Peter Pan is the perfect show for the child in all of us.

Expectations
We expect students to come to rehearsal with positive attitudes, willing to learn and try new things.
We expect students to work hard, encourage each other, complete all assignments in a timely manner,
follow directions without complaining, and maintain good grades in school.
We expect students, parents, volunteers, and staff to help preserve and maintain the positive, safe, nurturing,
"chrysalis" environment by refraining from profanity, bullying, gossip, discrimination, cliques, flirting, etc.
Our goal is to to maintain a healthy environment free from all forms of off-stage drama. We expect everyone
to be pro-active in assisting us in this by setting a good example for each other in word and deed. We expect
everyone to build each other up, encourage each other, be patient and forgiving with each other, and to work
together as a family to create the very best show possible.
We expect parents and students to help us restore the rehearsal room or backstage area to its original
condition at the end of each rehearsal. This is important in order to maintain a clean rehearsal space and
a good relationship with the owners of the spaces we use. It's also an important life skill for kids to learn
("If you make a mess, clean it up", "Always leave a place in better condition than you found it").
If everybody helps out, this involves 5-15 minutes of moving chairs/tables and throwing away trash.
We expect every family to actively participate in the creation of the show by helping with sets, costumes,
props, or other key areas. Every family will be expected to serve in one or two areas of the production with
guidance from the director or other leader. Parents with theatrical experience in any of these areas can sign
up to lead a team and receive a discount. Receiving help from parent volunteers enables us to provide
all of our students with a high quality show experience, at a reasonable price, without over-working anybody.
Not to mention, it's a fun way for parents to get involved, learn new skills, and make new friends! There's a
real sense of pride and accomplishment when something you've worked on comes to life on stage.
We expect every family to supervise backstage for one tech rehearsal
We expect all the parents to help us load all the sets, costumes, and props into
the theatre at the beginning of tech week and to move them out again at the conclusion of the production.
Many hands makes light work!
We expect parents to help students with homework assignments like memorizing lines. These things can
be a little difficult for first-time students, but time and time again we have seen students proudly overcome
these obstacles with the help of their parents. Overcoming challenges is an important life skill, and this is a
great way for kids to develop it!
We expect to have a fabulous, fun, community-oriented production experience filled with great enthusiasm,
energy, encouragement, forgiveness, new friendships, and learning of new skills.
Let's build something special together!
