Soar into summer with MCT’s latest production, PETER PAN. This high-flying TONY Award-winning musical opens Friday, July 15 at Perkiomen Valley Middle School East, Collegeville, PA 19426. Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale, PETER PAN features an unforgettable score by Morris Charlap and Jule Styne with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green. MCT has engaged Flying By Foy, the most prolific theatrical flying service in the world, to bring the magic of flight to this spectacular production.
MCT’s PETER PAN features Rebecca Kelley (Philadelphia) as Peter Pan, and Dustin Lee Yenser (Philadelphia) as both Mr. Darling and the dastardly Captain Hook.

Nana, the Darlings’ Newfoundland nursemaid, is brought to life by Ross Klinger (Willow Grove) who also appears as the terrifying Crocodile. Charlotte Kalilec (Radnor) portrays Tiger Lily, the brave and strong leader of a mysterious Indian tribe, and Gary Bullock (Havertown) plays Smee, Captain Hook’s bumbling right hand man.
