Bozeman Magazine

Anderson School and its Tony-nominated Theatre program proudly present the live-action, high-flying, adventurous tale of Peter Pan! Come and be whisked away with us 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 4-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. 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. The cast includes almost 70 kids between 4th-8th grade who devote 3 months before, during, and after school to hone skills in preparation for a production that far exceeds expectations of most middle school, even high school, plays. More recent productions have included Oliver!, Suessical, Matilda, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Beauty and the Beast, and Fiddler on the Roof. Tickets are available beginning April 1.
