 Peter Pan showing at the Schenectady Civic Players

Peter Pan
By J. M. Barrie

Directed by Duncan Morrison
December 3 - 5 and December 8 - 12, 2010

Join eternally young Peter on his adventure to Neverland, a magical island where there are no parents, no rules, and where fairies and pirates rule!  Introduce your children and grandchildren to the characters you loved from J.M. Barrie's timeless masterpiece: sweet Wendy Darling, jealous Tinker Bell, vengeful Captain Hook, a horde of mischievous Lost Boys, lovable Nana the dog, and - last but not least - a very hungry, ticking crocodile.

  1. We have the Mummy Festival on our calendar and I'm really looking forward to it! I hope to see other RR families there too. Last weekend, we went to the mummy display at the Berkshire Museum and it was fascinating.

    I'd love to bring the kids to Peter Pan too. Those dates are already pretty booked up for us, and it looks like Friday, Dec 3 at 8 PM would work the best. Anyone else planning to go?

  3. Do you already have your tickets? I had looked at that date, but there's a chocolate expo at the Albany Museum I was thinking about going to. If we could get tickets close to you guys, though, maybe I'll change my plans.
