You may buy them from cast or crew members, or you may purchase them online at stpmobile.ludus.com. Brace yourselves for an awfully big adventure when the inept and accident-prone Cornley Drama Society, in partnership with the St. Paul's Players, set out to present J.M. Barrie’s much-loved classic tale of Peter Pan, their most audacious production to date. What ensues is two acts of hysterical disaster, battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes. But will they ever make it to Neverland? You’ll laugh; they’ll cry. Something so wrong has never been so right |
