SAN DIEGO -- Peter Pan flies again on April 17, when the San Diego Junior League presents the J.M. Barrie classic children's show at the Casa del Prado Theatre in Balboa Park. Peter Pan will run through May 3.

"As part of the theatre's 50th anniversary, we selected plays that would take everyone back to the true essence of the theatrical arts," said Will Neblett, San Diego Junior Theatre's executive/artistic director.

" Peter Pan and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat are icons which define the success and wonder that draws all audiences to the theatre over and over again."

The Peter Pan production is cast and crewed by Junior Theatre's students, ages 8-18, and directed by Doren Elias.

The San Diego Junior Theatre is committed to the encouragment of the city's youth and the development of their creativity, self-esteem and enjoyment of theatre arts. For tickets, call (619) 239-8355.
