PETER PAN 2024

saturday, May 18, 2024

309 W Morgan St
Durham, NC 27701

 

Durham Ballet Theatre’s 4th performance of the storybook ballet of Peter Pan based on the book by J.M. Barrie will be held at the Carolina Theatre May 18, 2024. 

This adventure begins at the London home of the Darling family on a typical evening in 1912, as the weary parents try to settle their children down for bed while the young ones insist on staying up late. Little do Wendy, John, and Michael know that a fantastic journey awaits them that night. Soon an impish shadow appears, whisking the children away to the magical world of Neverland, where Peter Pan, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, Princess Tiger Lily, mermaids, pirates, and a hungry crocodile engage them in daring adventures filled with flying fairies, sword fights, rescues, and more.

As Peter himself might say, “To find out what happens next would be an awfully big adventure!”

Become a Sponsor

The primary goal of Durham Ballet Theatre is to provide a training company and public performance opportunities for dancers, singers and actors of all ages who wish to go on to have professional careers in the field of the performing arts, extend their careers or have a secondary career in the profession of the performing arts.

We believe our greatest contribution is making the arts more accessible through our Friday evening Invited Audiences performances of all of our productions, free of charge. Over 800 members of the underserved community are provided a safe, accessible environment. During the past seven years we have reached over 3,500 people during these Friday evenings.

We have developed a network of local connections to identify underserved audiences. It’s important to remember these performances are about access and inclusion not only for the individuals with special needs but also for their family and caregivers. Lack of sensory friendly, accessible events that allow the whole family to attend can contribute to social isolation for those with special needs and their families.
