PETER PAN, JR- Sept 12-15, 2024 (A Penguin Project Production)
Based on J.M. Barrie's classic tale and featuring an unforgettable score by Morris "Moose" Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. This high-flying Tony Award-winning musical has been performed around the world and delighted audiences for 60 years and is now adapted for young performers.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, the fierce Brave Girls, a band of bungling pirates and, of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
Featuring the iconic songs, "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up" and "Never Never Land," and a rousing book full of magic, warmth and adventure, Peter Pan JR. is the perfect show for the child in all of us... who dreamed of soaring high and never growing up. Presented by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Peter Pan, Jr. is presented by The Penguin Project at Mon River Arts. The Penguin Project is open to any individual age 10 to 21 with a developmental disability. There are no restrictions based on the level of cognitive ability, restriction of mobility, or lack of communication skills. The Penguin Project utilizes a “peer mentor” system, linking each young artist with an age level peer who does not have a disability. The peer mentors work side-by-side with their partners, assisting them throughout the entire rehearsal process and on stage.
Thur, Fri & Sat Sept 12-14 at 7:00pm, Sun matinee Sept 15 at 2pm
Reserved seating. All tickets $15.

INTO THE WOODS- Oct 11-13, 18-20, 2024 (A Mainstage Production)
Directors: Shawn and Chelsea Conway, Music Director: Nora Pickell, Choreographer: Samantha Mitchell, Stage Manager: Dylan Stramaski Assistant Stage Manager: Maddie Younge
About the Show:
“Be careful what you wish for” seems to be the ongoing theme in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Brothers Grimm inspired musical, Into the Woods. The story follows The Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give some milk. When the Baker and his wife are visited by the neighborhood witch, who reveals to them that she placed a curse on their family, the two set off on a journey into the woods to reverse the curse. Also in the woods, we meet Little Red, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the Wolf who loves tasty little girls, the Witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the Princes chasing after their loves. By the end of Act I, everyone has gotten their wish and will seemingly live happily ever after. But in Act II, when Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry Giant, we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their kingdom, but sacrifices must be made.
Show dates: October 11-13, 18-20, 2024. Adults $22, Seniors and Students $18. Groups of 20 or more contact the box office at [email protected]. Tickets go on sale Sept 3.
