'Peter Pan' flies onto the Fort Peck Summer Theatre stage

From Fort Peck Summer Theatre

Peter Pan, Captain Hook and the Darling family come to life on stage starting July 26 in a colorful and extravagant musical production of Fort Peck Summer Theatre.

The FPST production will feature high-flying special effects, athletic dance sequences and swash-buckling pirates, perfect for the entire family.

Sure to leave audiences in awe, flying effects are created and installed by ZFX. The company is responsible for flying effects for Broadway, many A-List musicians and entertainment events throughout the world.

Veteran FPST designers Jay Michael Roberts, scenic; Spencer Perry, lighting; Sarah Bell, costumes; and Lauren Kolstad, hair are working behind the scenes.

Glasgow-native Christen Etchart takes the stage — and air — as Peter Pan, alongside Tommi Prewett as Wendy, Chase Tarum as John and Ian Anderson as Michael. Also starring are William Pipinich, seen last season in “Guys on Ice,” as Captain Hook, Brittany Archambeault as Tiger Lily, Treyson Sherk as Smee, Sydney Hayward as Liza, Staci Weidner as Mrs. Darling and Ali Kuka as Jane.

The role of Grown-Up Wendy will be shared by Connie Boreson, Patt Etchart and Holly Taylor Hunziker at alternating performances.

Megan Wiltshire serves as director/choreographer and Alicia Bullock-Muth is musical director, who previously teamed up for Fort Peck Summer Theatre’s sold-out 2017 production of “Grease!”

Performances are July 26 through Aug. 16; Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m.
