West's Trojan Players Set to Fly High with Production of 'Peter Pan'
'Pixies and Pirates' fundraiser party a week in advance of opening will give young children a taste of the stage magic to come.
The timeless tale of a boy who never wanted to grow up will come to life both on stage and off at in the musical "Peter Pan" and at a party for young "pixies and pirates."
The curtain will rise on the first of five presentations of the West High Trojan Players’ production April 27, continuing that weekend and the next.
The Trojan Players will present Piers Chater Robinson’s musical adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s original tale of “Peter Pan.” This adaptation is much more faithful to the original story than the commonly known "Mary Martin/Cathy Rigby" version.

Children and adults will feel like lifting off their feet as they discover new facets of the classic story of the imagination of boys, the power of mothers and the struggles associated with growing up.
