Peter Pan

The Herriman City Arts Council put on the play Peter Pan.  At the last minute, we decided to try and make it.  I didn't want to spend money for the tickets, but good opportunities to take the kids to see plays don't come around too often.  I was a little nervous when I found out it was two and a half hours, especially considering the last attempt to see Charlie Brown I ended up taking Kodi home at intermission because she was so bad.

This play was very well done.  Peter Pan and the Darling children flew across the stage in many scenes, there was a live orchestra and some were dressed as pirates.  Our next-door neighbor was one of Captain Hook's pirates too, so it was fun to see him perform.  My favorite actress was Wendy.  She was absolutely amazing, and then I looked at her bio in the playbill.  She has been in many plays at Hale Center Theater, Pioneer Theater, and even been in some movies.  It definitely showed.

After the play, we went to see the actors and surprisingly, Kodi wanted to talk to all of them.  She was in her Tinkerbell costume and I think the actors really liked that.  They were all willing to take pictures and take a moment to talk to her.  Kyson, on the other hand, was tired and done when the play ended.  He liked it, but wanted to leave when it was over.

After seeing how enthralled they were during the play and how excited Kodi was after, it was well worth the ticket price and I'm glad we went.
