Show Synopsis and Our Production
Korda ends its season with a holiday panto, in the wacky send-up Peter Pan(to) by Tracey B. Atin and Robert Godden. Journey to a far-off land and meet mermaids, pirates and fairies in this hilarious pantomime parody of the J.M. Barrie classic. There are silly songs, sly jokes and bad drag, heroes to cheer and villains to jeer, and entertainment for all ages in the eighth of the original pantos created by the Korda team.
Available Roles
Peter Pan(to) – adolescent – young adult.
A feisty, adventurous young boy from Never Ever (Hardly Ever) Land who yearns for a “smother” and never wants to grow old.Actors auditioning will be asked to imitate Peter’s Rooster Crow.

Child of an upper middle class English family, Wendy longs only for complacencies of domestic life; cooking, cleaning, and wiping snot off dirty faces.

The first mate of Captain Hook, Shmee is a bumbling and dim-witted pirate who is often just along for the ride.
