Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) presents
Peter Pan the Musical
by Piers Chater-Robinson
Based on the novel by J.M. Barrie
Welcome to the Darlings’ Family adventures in The Never Land! Come witness heroism as Peter defeats the villainous Captain Hook; be entertained by fumbling Pirates; learn why Peter does not want to grow up; cry and cheer with the Lost Boys counting on Peter and Wendy to lead them in life. And what’s with all this TinkerBell stuff?
The Surrey Youth Theatre Company (SYTCO) continues its highly respected and exciting history of family theatre. This 21st season we are bringing to area families Peter Pan the Musical, direct out of London.
Directed by founder Susan Pendleton, the 17 Company member cast, ages 10 – 15, offer up a captivating and delightful rendition of this popular novel. Staying away from the Disney and Broadway interpretations comes this cleverly written true to form British script. The songs are catchy, engaging, and memorable.
Pendleton has her MA degree in Educational Theatre from New York University and continues her love of children’s theatre through Sytco. Previous Sytco productions at Surrey Arts Centre include: Madeline’s Christmas, A Year With Frog and Toad, Treasure Island, Pippi Longstocking, The Orphan Train. Audiences always leave the theatre delighted with the time spent with their families entertained by Sytco’s quality theatre.
Running time is just over 2 hours including intermission. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
Please note that the controversial and archaic inclusion of Barrie’s Victorian age “Indians” are handled in a very respectful manner. The word is deleted from our production as are any cliches wrongfully associated with First Nations Peoples.
