Burien, WA – 13th, February, 2013 - Disney’s PETER PAN JR. is playing at the Highline Performing Arts Center for two shows only on February 28th and March 1, 2014 at 7:00pm. The 60-minute musical, designed for middle-school aged performers, is based on the play by J.M. Barrie and the 1953 Disney film. The St. Francis of Assisi School 7th & 8th grade cast has been putting on the final stages of this high flying adventure led by teacher Chris Harris.

"We've been working hard to make this a great show, and we are looking forward to sharing it with the community. We hope everyone will come and enjoy the show." said 7th grade cast member, Liam McNett (Peter Pan).

Peter Pan JR. is the story of the boy who wouldn’t grow up and the girl who has to. After finding his shadow in the Darling family nursery, Peter teaches Wendy, Michael and John how to fly and sweeps them off to Never Land, where they meet Lost Boys, mermaids, indians and, of course, pirates. If the children are ever to return home, Peter must defeat Captain Hook with the help of Tinker Bell and her fairy friends. Peter Pan JR. features classic songs from the 1953 film such as, “You Can Fly!,” “Following the Leader” and “The Second Star to the Right” as well as songs from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and the 2008 Disney film Tinker Bell.

This performance of Disney’s PETER PAN JR. is open to the public and tickets can be purchased at the school office and more information can be found at http://stfoa.org/musical/.
