Orinda Intermediate School's Bulldog Theater will present its spring musical, "Disney's Peter Pan Jr." in early May at OIS. Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie's enchanting play is a modern version of the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn't grow up - with no flying required.

In this tale, Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John. But when her father announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan comes to visit the children and whisks them away to Never Land. Their adventure introduces them to the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook.

The score includes new arrangements of classic Disney songs, such as "Following the Leader," "You Can Fly," "The Second Star to the Right" and "Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me."

The production is directed and produced by Bay Area Children's Theatre as part of their youth education program. Rachel Robinson serves as director with Megan McGrath as choreographer and Christina Martin as music director. In reference to the production, Rachel Robinson notes, "I am so excited for the OIS community to see our upcoming production of Peter Pan! This classic tale boasts flying heroes, mermaids, pirate battles and more - anything and everything that a child could dream of. The actors have brought incredible imagination and energy to their work. The beloved story features themes that each of them can relate to - appreciating your family, not wanting to grow up, finding your place in society. Our audiences are in for quite a treat."

There are two casts, comprised of approximately 60 OIS students along with additional 13 OIS students serving on tech crew. Performances will run May 1-3 at the OIS Bulldog Theater. The performance lasts a total of 90 minutes, including one intermission. For show time information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.showtix4u.com. Tickets are also available at the OIS theater one half hour prior to show times.
