The club is open to all artists in any media and from any level—beginner to professional. “Coco” - Kris Wilson The Little Book that Can!

As is the long tradition, Peter will be played by a woman, Meikjen (Micki) Pace of Brigham City. Peter Pan has been a childhood friend of millions of people since his creation in 1902 when he first appeared in Barrie’s novel, “The Little White Bird.” Peter was so immediately popular that Barrie wrote his extraordinarily successful 1904 play, and the center console, or in the pocket on the back side of your front car seats.” The cover photograph by Bill Singleton is a beautiful spring image of wildflowers, Pineview reservoir, and the surrounding mountain peaks dusted with snow.

Peter Pan steps onto the stage at WSU “Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Would Never Grow Up.” The play has continued to be enjoyed each Christmas season in London for more than a century in the same way Utah audiences look forward to productions of “The Nutcracker.” Catherine Zublin, costume designer, is up to the task of creating costumes for Indians, pirates, children, flowers, Edwardian parents, and the crocodile. The Croc is a work of art in itself! Costumes Studio Manager Jean Louise England says that over the semester break, more than a dozen students volunteered their time to build the costumes. Many of the actors worked on their own. Scenic designer Van Tinkham has the challenge of creating diverse scenes—a children’s nursery, a forest hideout, and a pirate ship—that also allows for “flying” by certain characters. The flying apparatus is contracted through ZFX, Inc. and was installed in the Allred Theatre on January 15 with training provided for the stage crew. The fantasy here is supported by good design and technical skills. This production was made possible by the Stewart Education Foundation, which provided the funding for the ZFX contract. The expense of this special effect would be beyond the budget of a normal Department of Performing Arts production.
