NORTH READING — Come fly with the North Reading High School Masquers Club to Neverland and relive the classic story about a boy who never wanted to grow up. Join Wendy, Michael and John as they fly with Peter Pan to Neverland and encounter bumbling pirates, brave Indians and of course, the Lost Boys.
Audience members will be enchanted as Peter and the Darlings actually fly on their adventures through Neverland. This is a performance you won’t want to miss!
Performances will be held at the North Reading High School’s, new, state–of–the–art Performing Arts Center on January 30, 31 (4:00 p.m. show only), and February 6 and 7. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
New this year, tickets for Peter Pan will be assigned seating rather than general admission. So purchase your tickets early! Tickets can be purchased in person at the North Reading Performing Arts Center box office Monday, Jan. 26 through Friday, Jan. 30 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m each day, and Monday, Feb. 2 through Friday, Feb. 6 at 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. The box office will also be open for ticket sales on Monday, Jan. 26 and Monday, Feb. 2 from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. Based on availability, tickets will also be sold at the box office beginning 90 minutes before each performance.
The box office is located outside the Performing Arts Center at the end of the main hall known as “Main Street” in the new high school. Those entering from the main rear parking lot should continue down “Main Street” past the gym and cafeteria to reach the box office.
Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $12 students, $10 for senior citizens and $5 for children 5 and under. If children attend the show dressed as their favorite character from the beloved J.M.Barrie story they will receive a gold doubloon redeemable for a “treat” during intermission.
Handicapped seating is available both in the front of the theatre, the sides and in the back. There is also an elevator to assist patrons who want to get to the front of the theatre. The box office will assist with special needs of patrons in selecting tickets.
ZFX Flying, from Louisville, Kentucky, is providing the flying apparatus and technical support to help Peter, Wendy, Michael and John fly through their adventures in Neverland. Thanks to ZFX Flying, two chances are being raffled off to have the opportunity to experience flight like the actors on stage. Raffle tickets are $10 each. The flights will be redeemable Sunday, February 8, 2015.
