Peter Pan at Artisan Theater


Before the show--look I'm in the picture!

Peter Pan---he was a girl--why are they all casted as girls???? -she did great though!

Reese, Greg, Captain Hook, and Shmee!


Well I bet you are sick of reading about Peter Pan huh? (Sorry:) --it could be worse he could be into like Batman or Star Wars or something:)
Anyways last night we took the kids to see Peter Pan at the local theater and it was INCREDIBLE!!!! We were soooo blessed to get FREE tickets from our friend Linda (thanks Linda) and it was by far one of the highlights of our kids lives..... so far:)
It was done so professionally not like a high school musical or anything! It was like you were in the book living the story from page to page--amazing! There was a part in the show where Peter Pan and Captain Hook were fighting and Abby and Reese were so into it they were shaking in our laps--I could feel Reese's heart beat through his back!! (it was unreal:) I kept telling the kids it was make believe but the actors did such a great job that separating reality and fantasy was almost impossible! The set was spectacualar--the audience sat all around the stage surrounding it on all four sides and everywhere you looked characters were popping out of trees, ships and windows--it was great!
After the show all the characters were waiting outside to meet everyone which was really fun! Reese wouldn't take a picture with Peter Pan--not sure why, he wouldn't even wear his Peter Pan outfit--he puzzles me sometimes:) He would pose with Captain Hook and Shmee though....which is crazy because he is super scared of Captain Hook. He also wanted a picture with Michael and John--he was very happy about that! Abby wanted to take a picture with Wendy and Tiger Lilly--she wasn't into the pirates!
Well we had a great time and we really hope to see more shows in the future--I think Reese is hoping to see The Three Little Pigs--which should be really cute except he's really hoping the big bad wolf isn't bad...I think he's gonna be disappointed don't you??:)

I think he may have realized there is a feminine oddness about the Pan. This can be hidden in a book but not in person. Hook is a man's man....well, given his hook and all.

Aaaaarhhh to the Hook.
