Faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust didn't only give Peter and Tinker Bell the ability to fly; the company at William Henry Harrison High School soared past the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning with their stunning rendition of "Peter Pan."

By chance, a young woodland boy named Peter Pan happens upon the nursery of the three Darling children and brings them back home with him to Neverland, a place in the stars where children swear never to grow up. A story loaded with evil pirates, magical sylvan creatures, and the naïvite of children dreading adulthood, "Peter Pan" is known for inspiring and entertaining audiences of all ages.

The cast of "Peter Pan" matched the enrapturing energy of the lead performers with the dedication of the supporting ensemble to weave together a moving production of the timeless story.

In the title role of Peter Pan, Courtney Reckelhoff honored tradition with her boyish charm and carefree attitude, while adding a touch of femininity to the character with her remarkable vibrato and soprano allure. In the role of Captain Hook, Reckelhoff's male counterpart, Lane Busby. brilliantly executed his performance with a childish take on Hook's infamous conspiracies and a booming baritone sound. These two fabulous performers crafted a rivalry comparable to that of feuding siblings, involving a slightly greater amount of aerodynamics.

In a land where a false sense of security can mean life or death, suspense is everything. The collective energy of the pirate ensemble kept the audience on the edge of their seats, as they crept through the woods trying to capture the Lost Boys, and their interactions with Noah Brown as the Crocodile resulted in the show's most side-splitting moments.

Most children who grew up reading "Peter Pan" have fantasized about what a real-life Neverland would look like. The brilliant set of "Peter Pan" looked as if it came right out of a storybook with an iridescent waterfall and larger-than-life elements of the forest. Contributing to the magic of the set was the precise cue-calling from stage management and the ethereal makeup design. Despite the muffled microphones in some scenes, the actor pushed through and never lost focus.

Overall, a job well done by William Henry Harrison High School, who, with dazzling performers, an exquisite set, and lots of glitter, were able to convince the most unyielding minds that believing is all it takes.

William Henry Harrison High School brought back childhood memories of fairytales and make-believe in the timeless classic, "Peter Pan ."

In a tale beginning with Peter Pan simply searching for his shadow in the Darling's house, Peter Pan follows the story of the famous boy-who-never-grew-up and his adventures in Neverland with the Darling children--three young British children introduced to the magic of Neverland by Peter . This whimsical musical recounts Peter , the Darling children, and other Neverland inhabitants in a battle with Captain Hook , a pirate set on the demise of Peter Pan . In a clever plan involving acquiring the help of an Indian tribe and a tick-tocking crocodile, Peter and his friends come out victorious. The Darlings eventually have to return home. Peter comes to find Wendy Darling many years later only to find that she is all grown up. Alas, Wendy has a daughter who has heard all about Peter Pan and Neverland , so the cycle repeats.

Harrison's production perfectly portrayed the fanciful nature of this musical. The sets appeared to be straight out of a children's book, while the cast created a fun pretense of children playing pretend.

Heading the cast was Courtney Reckelhoff who played the musical's namesake, Peter Pan . Rechelhoff kept a fantastic stage presence throughout the duration of the production. She made a believable performance of a boy who wanted to stay a boy and have fun. Her vocal technicality was also very nice. Livvy Stubenrauch , who played Wendy Darling , also had great vocal technicality, with a gentle vibrato and gliding soprano notes. Captain Hook , played by Lane Busby , was captured in a humorous adult-who-never-grew-up way. The Lion (Tori Orbegozo ), the Kangaroo (Lyndsi Moore ), the Ostrich (Lylla Kovacs ), and the Forest Dancers (Robby Mumfrey and Zach Treinen ) blended well as an ensemble with impressive dancing, most notably Kovacs who was en pointe. A relatively small but hugely funny part of the show was Noah Brown as Nana and The Crocodile . Very simple comedic acting and timing made for many laugh-inducing moments in the show.

Aiding the strong cast was an equally strong crew. While they didn't design the set, the students constructed it beautifully, making the magic of Neverland come to life. The first introduction to Neverland felt as if it was straight out of a storybook, with whimsical attributes that were executed wonderfully. The hair and makeup, all done by Alicia Morehead who also played Grown Up Wendy , was superb. It fit the time period well and added to the magic of Neverland .

Willian Henry Harrison High School proved in their production of Peter Pan that growing up is truly overrated.

In a show filled with fairies, swashbuckling pirates, Indian warriors, flying children, and of course, the most remarkable boy in the world, Willian Henry Harrison High School flew audiences to a world of make-believe and imagination this weekend in their magical production of "Peter Pan."

A dashing figure bursts into the Darling's nursery, flying through a massive window in a cloud of silver pixie dust, looking for his sweet shadow. So begins Harrison's technically mystifying production of Peter Pan. The cast takes no break, soaring through the air, diving off stage, dancing through the jungle, and creating a world of splendor and imagination.

Willian Henry Harrison High School's Production follows the 1954 Musical, based on J. M. Barrie's 1904 play "Peter Pan," and respects the traditions of the classic work while also paying homage to the artistic motifs in Disney's movie musical. The musical follows the three Darling children, Wendy , Michael , and John in their journey to Neverland, a world where children never grow up, with the help of the ever-so-clever Peter Pan and his fairy Tinkerbell. While playing in the world of pirate ships and enchanted forest creatures, the children learn the importance of family, magic, and belief.

This staging was brilliantly anchored by the commitment and energy of the principle cast, inventive technical artistry, and impeccable attention to detail. Additionally, the various ensembles brought life and hilarity to each large number, allowing the island of Neverland to blossom on stage.

The production would not be complete, of course, without its leading "lady" in the role of Peter. Courtney Reckelhoff fantastically maintained the boyish charm and physicality of the daunting role, all with ease and obvious passion. Beyond the acting, Reckelhoff's impressive vocal chops and clarity were put in the spotlight in this production- often nostalgically sounding like the 1954 recording of the original production. Captain Hook's performanc must also be mentioned in consideration of this production. Bringing dynamic energy and hilarity to the scariest villain on the seven seas, Lane Busby captured the stage as Hook with impressive depth and comedic timing.

Filled with shocking talent, the ensemble of Harrison's production held incredible dancers in the Forest Creatures. The Ostrich (Lylla Kovacs) , Forest Dancers (Robby Mumfrey and Zach Treinen) , and Tiger Lilly (Emma Roush) all wowed audiences with impressive demonstrations of technique and skill. The three Darling Children, Livvy Stubenrauch , Matthew Rudolph , and Parker Lawhorn (noted that Rudolph and Lawhorn are Junior High students) also brought great shows of talent to the production, exemplifying the desired themes of make-believe in Harrison's direction.

Technically the show excelled with creative and artistic attention to detail in all aspects. Most notable, of course, was the fly system set up to allow for real flight on stage. Apart from that, the lighting and set design for the production brought "Peter Pan" to a new level- especially in the transition to Neverland. While there were some mic issues in some places, the overall recovery time and professional nature of the tech made up for it twofold.

Harrison High School's first Cappies production was a sight to see, bringing audiences back to a time of pirates and Indians and playing House. From the design to the cast, "Peter Pan" was an "awfully big adventure," leaving audiences with a newfound belief in magic- and of course, in fairies.

Populated by mischievous fairies, lost boys, and ruthless pirates alike, William Henry Harrison High School's cast and crew brought Neverland to life onstage in their production of "Peter Pan." With a little bit of faith, trust, and pixie dust, this whimsical story of adolescent dreams helped audience members of all ages start to believe in magic again.

Based on J. M. Barrie's original play from 1904, this quintessential tale follows the young Darling children as they are swept from their nursery and flown into a world where growing up isn't required. Accompanied by the magical, motherless Peter Pan, his impish fairy friend, Tinkerbell, and his gang of Lost Boys, the children soon find themselves stuck in a feud involving the terrible Captain Hook and his band of belligerent pirates. This classic story of imagination, sacrifice, and love perfectly illustrates the pain and loss involved with growing up.

William Henry Harrison High School's production was second-to-none with unparalleled acting talents and technical elements blending seamlessly to create a show with vivacity, humor, and charm.

One of the cast's most notable talents was actress Courtney Reckelhoff in her role as Peter Pan. Peter is traditionally played by a woman in onstage productions, and Reckelhoff's consistent, buoyant energy throughout the show proved that she absolutely personified the role. Facing the daunting challenge of executing choreography on the flying rig, Reckelhoff and Livvy Stubenrauch, playing Wendy Darling, radiated chemistry. As she and Stubenrauch flew with Matthew Rudolph and Parker Lawhorn, in their respective roles as John and Michael Darling, Reckelhoff sprinkled "pixie dust" in the air to create the beautiful segue to Neverland.

The performance was punctuated by multiple periods of transition in which forest creatures such as the Ostrich, played by Lylla Kovacs, and the Kangaroo, portrayed by Lyndsi Moore, danced across the stage. Kovacs, in particular, wore pointe shoes for her role, and her unique ballet skills, including difficult jumps and footwork, were simply breathtaking. In addition, Noah Brown provided comedic relief throughout the show in his role as the Darling family's dog, Nana, and the Crocodile, who, much to Captain Hook's dismay, made multiple appearances.

Not to be overlooked were the technical elements of this production which proved both challenging and unique. Student Director Antonio Mumfrey operated the Tinkerbell laser and also played a major part in coordinating with local robotics students to create the effect of Tinkerbell entering and exiting. The stage manager, Anna Tumlin, masterfully executed rapid transitions between sets and scenes. Student choreography, featured in the number "I Won't Grow Up," also demonstrated the dedication and passion that went into all aspects of this production.

William Henry Harrison High School's performance of "Peter Pan" was filled with whimsy and mirth as the seemingly lighthearted tale's deeper message was beautifully illustrated onstage through the efforts of the cast and crew. With laughter, love, and loss, this performance truly exemplified the magic of youthful glory.

Pirates, Indians, Lost Boys oh my! William Henry Harrison High School's cast and crew truly brought to life the beloved story of the boy who won't grow up in their mystical production of "Peter Pan." Originally written as a play in 1904, the life of the century-old story was revitalized as it was given a musical score in 1954 and became the musical we all know and love today with songs like "I'm Flying" and "I Won't Grow Up."

The production itself was an overall success, evoking laughter and wonder from the crowd as the cast literally flew across stage while being tethered to fly rails in the ceiling. Even though it was run by adults, the cast fearlessly maneuvered in the air as if they had been flying their whole live, which made the scenes all the more believable and realistic.

A true anchor of the show was leading "lady" Peter Pan, portrayed by Courtney Reckelhoff, who blended impudent boyishness with devilish charm to create the rascal that is Peter Pan. She skillfully guided viewers through the ups and downs of Peter's adventures, all while maintaining her immaculate character and retro-style voice.

One of the highlights of the show was the Darling children's nurse Nana, an old dog, who Noah Brown perfectly portrayed in all ways physical. Brown thoroughly embraced the role of a canine creature and put all his energy into mimicking the movements of a real dog which brought roars of joyous laughter upon the audience. He also played the Crocodile and slithered across the stage as if he were a real reptile.

The set was one of the most impressive aspects of the production as it painted fictional Never- Land as both alluring and mysterious. It came to life when Tinkerbell's light shot across the stage and into various objects, such as a drawer, a vase, and a doll house. The items both glowed and moved to give life to the luminescent Tink and enhanced the feeling of true magic.

Clocking in at almost three hours, William Henry Harrison High School's production of "Peter Pan" deserves many rounds of applause for effectively whisking everyone away into a magical world of flying, immortality, and fairies and leaving us all wonderstruck through their skilled flying, lively set, and impish characters.

The Harrison High School Drama Department flew to the second star to the right and straight on till morning in their fantastical production of J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," bringing this classic to the stage. A highly animated cast worked alongside a creative and hardworking crew to travel to an otherworldly destination ‘where dreams come true and time is never planned.'

Soaring to Broadway in 1954, this musical tells the story of Peter Pan taking three new friends to his home in Neverland, where young boys go to never grow up. In this enchanted land, Peter and the trio encounter vicious pirates, dancing Indians, and animated forest creatures. In the end, the Neverland protagonists defeat Captain Hook, and Wendy, John, and Michael return home to their parents and dog, Nana. Peter Pan flies back to his home on a star to stay a young boy before returning many years later to bring Wendy's daughter, Jane, to Neverland to learn the importance of childhood innocence and imagination.

In this quest to bring Wendy, John, and Michael to Neverland, Courtney Reckelhoff brought Peter's youthful demeanor to life through engaging storytelling, bright eyes, a massive smile, and energy that pulled every character into the imaginative mindset of a fantasy-style show. Reckelhoff executed a variety of difficult pieces such as the ballad "Neverland" and more upbeat songs including, "I'm Flying" and "I Gotta Crow" with impressive stamina, even when confidently flying through the air. Reckelhoff's energy was matched by Gabby Benedict (Mrs. Darling) through her elegant vocals and crisp British accent and Lane Busby's (Captain Hook) careful use of comic timing.

Neverland truly became magical when the ensembles took to the stage, including the Pirates and Indians. The Pirates contributed a medley of intensity, aggression, and comedy with their strong vocals in "Hook's Tango," and the Polynesian-inspired Indians showcased sharp and synchronized dance skills, led by the fearless Tiger Lily (Emma Roush).

Harrison Drama Department constructed breathtaking sets and props, mixing the classic side of Peter Pan with more unconventional elements. The set (constructed by Ava Kugler, Anna Tumlin, and Caroline McElroy) consisted of the Darling family nursery and a waterfall, mushrooms, and enchanting trees that crafted a wildly creative and otherworldly Neverland. The set was accentuated by carefully chosen props (compiled by Caroline McElroy), most notably including toys and a pirate plank. The stage crew (Anna Tumlin, Ava Kugler, and Caroline McElroy) was efficient in most of the demanding scene transitions, handling such an elaborate set with ease.

This trip back to childhood through Harrison's production of "Peter Pan" was completely enjoyable and memorable. The cast and crew, under the direction of Ms. Kelsey Demange, overcame the challenges of presenting a childlike and fantasy-style production with high energy and creativity. Harrison High School's Drama Department made dreams come true by mixing talent, dedication, and a little bit of pixie dust to create a very nostalgic evening in Neverland!

Can you think of a wonderful thought? Any happy little thought? Try thinking of the Harrison Creative Arts Theater's production of "Peter Pan", Broadway's Timeless Musical, by Carolyn Leigh and Morris Charlap . It tells the classic tale of a boy who never wants to grow up and his adventures on the magical island of Neverland .

As is traditional, the titular character of Peter Pan is played by a female. Courtney Reckelhoff brings the necessary youthful energy required to carry the show. Her vocal talent is shown off in the comedic peak of the production - "Oh My Mysterious Lady". This treasure of a musical number is not only a highlight for the protagonist but also for our nefarious antagonist. Captain James Hook is given a new life by Lane Busby . Hook serves as the personification of physical comedy after his marvelous introduction being carried in by his crew. Lane successfully balanced Hook's threatening demeanor and his pathetic underbelly. Much of the comedy is derived from the idea that an adult man is constantly terrorized by a child and a crocodile.

Noah Brown as Nana/The Crocodile was a fan favorite of the show. The cartoonish costumes and the skateboard mode of transportation instantly elevated the role to new heights. While not the most prominent character, the Crocodile stood out - receiving a steady stream of applause upon each entrance. Another highlight of the show is when the Crocodile stands up and swan dives into the water after Hook jumps overboard.

The two featured ensembles shined in their respective areas. The Pirates were mostly audible and maintained a good stage presence for their musical numbers. The Indians were difficult to hear at times, but were very good dancers.

What stole the show was the set. The intricate Neverland set provided numerous hiding spaces for the performers and allowed them to truly let loose and be children. Every part of the set was stable and supported the weight of the kids. The nursery set was also impressive with its numerous props and shaking set pieces. Of note was the intricate paint design on the walls. The lines looked very clean, and the choice of gold as the accent color meshed nicely with the white furniture and trim. The props were inventive and properly suited to the time period. The mesh fabric as Peter's shadow was particularly creative. The lighting was done by the auditorium manager, but the board was run by students and allowed for lights to be well-done and well-timed. Scene changes were somewhat lengthy, but this was understandable due to the size and intricacy of the set pieces.

Harrison enters their first year as a Cappies school wonderfully and no doubt will continue to put out well-constructed shows that remind the world of why theatre is worth doing.

In a land filled with pirates, fairies, and Lost Boys, only Peter Pan can be trusted to save the day! William Henry Harrison High School's production of "Peter Pan" was filled with enchantment that brought the flights and falls of Neverland to life.

Originally performed on Broadway in 1954, "Peter Pan" follows the travels of Wendy Darling and her two younger brothers, John and Michael, as they leave their parents to join Peter Pan in his home of Neverland. The Darling children and Peter encounter his rival Captain Hook as he battles to gain control over the island. The children, Peter Pan, and the Lost Boys eventually create a make-shift family, sticking together through the battles with the pirates and the terrors of the Crocodile. They learn that families aren't always physically related, but bond through the experiences, feelings, and memories a group has in common.

Harrison Creative Arts Theater's production of "Peter Pan" thrilled many by showcasing talent and technicality. Members of the cast displayed their impressive acting, while crew carried out quick and efficient scene changes. This resulted in a fantastical show filled with fun and fairy dust.

The cast was anchored around the performance of Courtney Reckelhoff as Peter Pan. She embraced all aspects of her character – singing, dancing, crying and even flying, making many sympathize with the boy who won't grow up. Wendy Darling, played by Livvy Stubenrauch, wonderfully highlighted the kindness of her character. Livvy's authenticity seeped through when Wendy had to decide between the two places that she loves to call her home. Lane Busby and Gino Fiorino were unforgettable as the comedic duo of Captain Hook and Smee. An example of their skills included encounters with the Crocodile which often resulted in fleeing, or even jumping off ship to hide from the animal.

The supporting cast was featured during the dancing elements of the show. This is best exemplified through the forest creatures present in Neverland. The Lion, the Kangaroo and the Ostrich, played by Tori Orbegozo, Lyndsi Moore, and Lylla Kovacs respectively, stood out in transition scenes with their jumps and spins. The trio's behavior was similar to each of their animals. Kovacs even walked en pointe throughout the entire show. Equally exceptional were the two Forest Dancers played by Robby Mumfrey and Zach Treinen. The pair's gymnastic tricks filled the youthful Neverland with playfulness and wonder.

The crew also supported the childish nature of "Peter Pan". Stage Management/Stage Crew led by Anna Tumlin, Ava Kugler and Caroline McElroy, performed their scene changes in a quick and orderly fashion. Changes were also done behind the curtain in order to keep the magic of Neverland alive.

William Henry Harrison High School's production of "Peter Pan" centered on bringing the whimsical Neverland off the page and onto the stage. Although the characters Wendy, John, and Michael Darling may have had to return home, the production uncovered that families can extend beyond much more than blood.

Near the second star to the right and straight on til morning lies a place where one never grows old. All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie dust to be transported to this magical land. This fantasy became reality in William Henry Harrison High School's production of "Peter Pan ."

"Peter Pan" tells the classic story of the boy who refused to grow up. The adventure begins when Peter takes John , Michael , and Wendy Darling soaring over the streets of London to Neverland to meet the dangers and wonders of this fantastic place. The story of "Peter Pan" has had many adaptations throughout its lifetime, most of which have the character Peter cast as a female. This production was no exception.

William Henry Harrison High School's adaptation of "Peter Pan" was a return to childhood. Iconic costumes, characters, and settings were brought to life as if they had jumped right out of a storybook. The cast's ability to embrace such a whimsical fantasy was a magical experience for the audience to enjoy.

Pan himself was accurately portrayed by Courtney Reckelhoff . Her boyish mannerisms, innocent voice, and constant stage presence kept the audience from getting too restless throughout three acts. The audience was convinced of her age and gender due to strong choices and commitment to her character. Lane Busby, as Captain Hook, balanced the comedic and threatening nature of the character while being surrounded by his energetic and well-costumed pirate crew. The interaction between Pan and Hook in "Oh My Mysterious Lady" had the audience rolling as Busby hammed up his act,
and Reckelhoff executed some impressive vocals.

Of the children, Livvy Stubenrauch fulfilled her role as a proper Wendy Darling . Noah Brown was a standout actor as well, playing both Nana the nurse/dog and The Crocodile . Brown was able to portray his motivations and emotions without the use of facial expressions. His physicality alone was enough to tell a story. Although the show had a few late light cues, troublesome microphones, a couple of slow scene transitions, and some confusing staging, the experience continued to be enchanting for the audience.

William Henry Harrison High School's innovative technical elements and polished set design amazed children and adults alike. The use of a green laser to represent Peter's fairy friend, Tinkerbell, was well-executed most of the time with a robotically shaking drawer and a green lit doll house to truly sell the effect. The biggest selling point of the show, however, was the rigging and flying. The actors maintained such control in the air as they were swiftly carried from one side of stage to the other, dazzling audiences with such feats. The detailed Darling nursery was able to quickly break apart and desert the stage while the actors sailed to Neverland.

The cast and crew of Harrison High School's "Peter Pan" transported the audience back to a time when they were young, believing in fairies and wishing to fly.

Looking at the nighttime sky, it is easy to wonder if anything lies beyond. The classic story of Peter Pan indulges in childhood wonder to transport generations of audiences to the second star on the right, illuminating a world of pirates and mischievous forest creatures. With actors flying high above the stage, a laser-pointer Tinkerbell , and endless handfuls of shimmering glitter, Harrison Creative Arts Theater embarked on a journey to bring this magical musical to life.

The 1954 musical "Peter Pan" tells the story of the Darling children and their adventures to Neverland . When Peter Pan arrives in the middle of the night to collect his shadow, he wakes the eldest daughter, Wendy . After she helps Peter sew his shadow back on, he teaches her and her brothers to fly, and they begin their journey to Neverland . After arriving, they are confronted by pirates and chased by an Indian tribe, and they begin to realize that this new world might not be as utopian as they'd hoped. A groundbreaking musical both for its genderbent portrayal of Peter and for the full-length, in-color 1955 NBC telecast (the first of its kind), the show is also technically challenging and visually mesmerizing.

One of the standout performances of the show was given by Courtney Reckelhoff in the titular role of Peter Pan . She was exceedingly charming and enthusiastic, brightening every scene she was in. Rigged and flown more than any other character, she was graceful and made flight appear natural as she seemed to effortlessly glide across the stage. Whether making shadow puppets on the wall after having her shadow reattached or fooling Captain Hook by masquerading as a woman, Reckelhoff was both hysterical and endearing. In addition to her acting prowess, her voice was lovely and perfectly suited to the Golden Age musical.

The inhabitants of Neverland were wonderfully indulgent to the fantasy world. A dance ensemble of forest creatures included a mischievous band of two trees (Robby Mumfrey and Zach Treinen ), a lion (Tori Orbegozo ), a kangaroo (Lyndsi Moore ), and an ostrich (Lylla Kovacs ). While at once being a delightful, ragtag group of Peter's followers, they were also technically excellent dancers who helped accentuate the otherworldly elements of Neverland . The Pirate Ensemble was equally hilarious, headed by Lane Busby as Captain Hook . Illuminated in red lighting and dressed in rags, they might have inspired fear had their ability to dance the tango and the tarantella not been so impressive.

"Peter Pan" is a technically challenging show, and the crew rose to this task expertly. Although there were issues with popping mics, the sound was effective and well-done. The set was particularly inspired, and the student effort was exemplary. At the beginning of Act One, Tinkerbell wanders the bedroom of the Darling children, and this is when the set had its finest moments. Engineering students designed a self-rocking dresser for when Tinkerbell became trapped inside, the dollhouse let off a soft amber glow that flickered green when she flew in the window, and a vase both glowed and swayed in circles on its shelf. In control of Tinkerbell (in reality a tiny green laser) was student director Antonio Mumfrey . Without his contributions to directing choices and his maneuvering of Tinkerbell , the show would not have been half as magical.

"Peter Pan" is an iconic fantasy story. However, while wonderful performers brought the characters of Neverland to life and technical elements were stunningly immersive, the show leaves one lasting message: that while adventure is exciting, life and love have just as much to offer.
