Last year’s cast of Peter Pan ballet brought a bit of Neverland magic to the stage.
Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company invites you to take flight to exotic lands with a full-length ballet production of Peter Pan. Based on J.M. Barrie’s famous tale of the boy who wouldn’t grow up, this brilliant story takes audiences on a high-flying adventure to Neverland.
There, Peter Pan, Wendy, John, and Michael encounter pirates, the Lost Boys, Captain Hook, an infamous crocodile, and a bit of pixie dust. This production features choreography by Artistic Director Edmond Cooper and music by internationally award-winning composer Stephen Warbeck.
The production will star featured guest artist Emmakate Franz as Tinkerbell. A recurring guest with the Children’s Theatre, Ms. Franz brings a luminous energy to the role. Originally from China and raised in West Virginia, she began her training in local dance studios and later studied at the Joffrey Ballet on scholarship. Her professional career includes performances with Ballet Austin, Milwaukee Ballet, and Ballet Arkansas.
Playful and fun for the young at heart, Peter Pan is certain to thrill the child in us all. Performances will be held at LakePointe Church in Hot Springs on Friday, May 8, at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday, May 9, with both a 1:00 p.m. matinee and a 7:00 p.m. evening show. An additional performance will take place at the Woodlands Auditorium in Hot Springs Village on May 15 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available now at hscdtc.org/tickets/.
