“Our director and designers have put together a beautiful production. This show is beloved by generations, but I had forgotten how funny the thing actually is,” Artistic Director James Beaudry said. “It’s one of the…funniest musical comedies ever written….With actors like Rosie and Cody, we’re constantly in stitches.”
The cast includes resident performers Holly Moss as Wendy, Tia Pinson as Tiger Lily, Amelia Jo Parish as Smee, and Paige ManWaring as Mrs. Darling. The ensemble includes resident company members and children from around the region.
The TLP production of “Peter Pan” features flying by Hall Associates Flying Effects.
