MCT’s Peter and Wendy coming to Imperial this weekend

When Captain Hook sends his right-hand man Smee on a quest to capture Peter Pan, it’s seemingly business as usual…at first.  Little does Hook realize what fantastic adventures await him and his pirate posse in their search for the elusive Peter Pan.
Auditions and first rehearsal were held Monday for the Missoula Children’s Theater production of Peter and Wendy. Seventy-two students in grades Kindergarten through tenth grade from Wauneta and Imperial tried out. The local cast features Lily Hill as Peter Pan and Kiara Castro as Peter’s Shadow. Playing Tinker Bell is Harlow Konecky.
