YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Arizona Western College (AWC) is putting on their own version of the classic tale of Peter Pan.
Show Director Shadow Zimmerman said their goal was to take a familiar story to audiences and add a little bit of Yuma-love to it.
With puppetry and writing changes to the story, the crew are confident that this play sets itself apart from others telling the same tale.
Lead star of the show Julia Castillo says that it’s a challenge to use creative imagery and illusions to sell some of the story’s original concepts such as flying, but their approach is what sets the play apart.
She says In this production, the audience will see AWC’s Theatre performers stretched to their limits with this show, and that it’s a funny, delightful time for the whole family to enjoy.
“There’s a lot of things and elements to this production that is unlike anything else,” said Julia Castillo, who plays Wendy in the play.
The show runs April 9-11 at 7:30 p.m., and again April 12 at 2 p.m. at the AWC Theater building on campus.
Admission is $5 at the door, or free with a student ID.
