Local celebrity pirate, Captain William Mayhem, will reprise his inimitable role as Captain Hook.

The ballet is based on the story by J.M. Barre and follows the Darling children’s adventures in Neverland, the home of Peter Pan and the Lost Children.

Audience members are encouraged to come dressed as Pirates or a favorite character from the story.
