Peter Pan is a mischievous boy – who can fly – and never, ever grows up. He spends his never-ending childhood collected adventures on the small island of Neverland, as leader of his gang – the Lost Boys – and meeting mermaids, Native Americans, fairies – including Tinker Bell – pirates – most notably Captain Hook – and, once-in-awhile, ordinary children from the world outside of Neverland – such as John, Wendy and Michael Darling. As Peter Pan states as his life’s philosophy: “All you need is faith and trust . . . and a little bit of pixie dust!” Directing the play is Lisa Shellum, who is also Butterfield-Odin Public School Superintendent, while the school’s vocal director and teacher,
