Indomitable Spirit
Tiger Lily and Peter Pan forge an alliance between the Indians and the Lost Boys, pledging their mutual aid against the threat of Captain Hook and his pirates.
Final Bow
Yesterday evening, with the onset of a pouring rain, the final performance of Peter Pan at Shallowford Square in Lewisville came to an abrupt halt at the conclusion of Act One. For weeks rain had presented difficulties for the production schedule. And in the end, rain unfortunately overtook the last performance of Peter Pan.
With a light rain still falling, the cast graciously gathered on the rain-drenched stage one last time. For a few moments, with a mirth that could not be dampened, Captain Hook and his pirates broke out into one of their signature songs. One last yo-ho-ho before the final bow.
Cheers of encouragement erupted from the small bands of the remaining audience, including many family members of the cast and crew. In some ways, this may have been the most dramatic moment of the entire production — for an indomitable spirit was subduing the threat of discouragement.
Lasting Bonds
Just as Tiger Lily and Peter Pan had forged an alliance between the Indians and the Lost Boys, the cast of Peter Pan has surely deepened their bonds with each other— molded by the shared challenges, hard work and the sheer thrill of performing such a beloved musical before enthralled audiences.
Thank you, cast, for such fine performances. And many thanks, as well, to the crew, musicians and other volunteers who helped make this production of Peter Pan a success. I personally know a few little ones who think you rock — and I heartily concur!

I can’t wait to see the rest of these fantastic photos! You take such beautiful photos!
I was Cecco the pirate in Peter Pan. It was a blast. My favorite part of the production – aside from getting to scream like a girl each night to the audience’s delight/horror – was the cast. I love every single person in the cast. They are all incredible people and we had so much fun on- and off-stage. I will greatly miss Peter Pan, but I am definitely looking forward to Pirates of Penzance!
Thanks to all who came!

Greetings, Luke –
Thank you for your kind words on the photos. It was a lot of fun photographing you all. This is my third WSCT musical to photograph, and so far it’s my favorite. The costumes, comedy and rapport of the cast — not to mention the flying — made it very intriguing, visually.
Thanks for sharing your favorite part of the show. Just from my vantage point, I could tell that you all were a close cast.
I’m looking forward to more pirates in September, too!
All the best,
Deb
