Peter
Pan
Bruce Lackovic’s set was tremendous: a pirate
ship stage left held a dozen actors while the Lost
Boys had a wonderful slide leading down to their
underground house with a magic mushroom for a chimney.
After
just about every performance we had to shoo away
the children who wanted to run around the irresistable
onstage playground.
Peter Pan was a huge
hit, drawing large audiences of parents with youngsters
in tow while entertaining many children of all ages.
From the Playbill –
Chairman of the Board’s
Welcome:
The performance you are about to enjoy is part of Marin
Shakespeare’s seventh season….During those
years we have earned recognition as one of the Bay
Area’s premiere cultural attractions, what one
reviewer called
‘a quintessential Marin event.’ Let me
brag a bit. MSC is now a professional Actor’s
Equity company. We consistently win critical plaudits,
including a 1994 Critics Circle Award for ‘Best
Overall Production.’
Our audiences are growing, with people bringing their
friends. The festivities tonight, however, are only
the most visible part of what we do to enrich the Marin
community. It surprises most patrons that we function
year-round, and not just in front of the footlights….We
develop new talent for the stage with our Intern and
Apprentice Programs for pre-professional actors and
teenagers, our new Young Company (ages 8 – 12),
and an upcoming high school company winter touring
show. Those are some of the ways we’ve grown
in the past seven years.” -- James J. Gallagher,
Ph.D.
