Stagedoor Performing Arts Presents 'Neverland'

Stagedoor Performing Arts debuted on the stage of its latest venue with a three-week, five-show run of Terry Abbott’s “Neverland,” the story of Peter Pan, last night.

The troupe rehearses and performs at South Bay Community Church, 13498 U.S. 301 in Rivervew, just south of the intersection of U.S. 301 and Big Bend Road in Riverview.

The family-friendly musical continues tonight as well as April 15 and 22-23 at 8 p.m., with the doors opening at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $12 for general admission and $10 for students, seniors and military.

The show was written and composed by Terry Abbott.  The Stagedoor production is under the direction of Domin Pazo, assisted by Josie Costa.

Stagedoor was founded in Brandon in 1995.

“Neverland” is "the story of Peter Pan, just told a little differently,” Pazo said. “It’s got the classic characters in it and it brings out the little kid in everybody.”
