Anderson School continues its theatrical tradition with the adventurous high-flying production of Peter Pan, coming to the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture this month. Performances will take place April 11th–13th. The Friday night show begins at 7pm, with Saturday shows at noon and 7pm, and a closing matinee on Sunday at 3pm.
In its 30th year, the Little Red Schoolhouse production of Peter Pan is led by Stephani Lourie, and her incredibly talented staff of vocal coaches, choral magicians, skilled thespians, alumni choreographers; and a production crew of dreamers, designers, thinkers and doers.
Be whisked away into the world of magical Neverland, where Wendy and her siblings meet a boy who refuses to grow up, a flying fairy and her forest protectors, an evil pirate captain and his sidekick, and a playful hip-hop band of forest orphans who wheel around on trikes, scooters and four-wheelers. With some creative embellishment to appeal to a wider audience, this classic story will be enjoyed by the whole family.
This year’s production also includes two extraordinary collaborations: one with Bozeman’s own 406 Cirque, who helps bring artistry and choreography to the way our actors move, dance and tumble on stage; and another with ZFX, a professional flying effects company based in Kentucky who will have you holding your breath as the fairies soar through the sky.
Peter Pan tickets are available for purchase at www.theemerson.org and at the door, dependent on availability. Tickets are $12 for main floor seats, or $10 for a balcony view. Come support local youth as they entertain Bozeman audiences. •
