Year 3 and 4 students from Beaconhills College will bring the classic tale of Peter Pan to the stage on 17 and 18 August at 7pm with the Peter Pan Jr musical.
Six months of preparation has gone in to the colourful show, which involves 150 students from the college’s Berwick Campus.
Director and college drama teacher Jesse Sheahan said Peter Pan Jr was quite simply shaping up to be “a showstopper.”
He said students had rehearsed tirelessly for the past few months.
“As the costumes start to roll in, the performers are incredibly excited and can’t wait to show an audience what they have been working on,” he said.
The musical espoused a timely message about the value of fantasy stories and the importance of fostering creativity, he added.
Peter Pan Jnr is a great night out for the whole family, and will be staged at the college’s Berwick Campus in Kangan Drive, Berwick.
Come along and enjoy light refreshments, listen to the timeless music and be transported on a magical adventure to Neverland.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children or $35 for a family of four.
