Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre to premiere "Peter Pan" 

Peter Pan flies into Pittsburgh on Friday, Oct. 25, when the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre premieres a new version of the ballet. 

The dancers are rehearsing before they take the stage to tell the classic story of "Peter Pan" through dance. It's a show for the whole family with dramatic sword fights, creative costumes and sets and dancers flying above the stage with wires. 

Artistic Director Adam McKinney says choreographer Trey McIntyre explores a new take on the familiar characters.

"Trey has taken a super exciting take on this original story that we all know and love so well," McKinney says. "The character of Peter is a scroungy, earthy individual that was raised essentially with wolves, and then comes back to his siblings to take them into Neverland. The story also is about Wendy and her evolution from a young person through her adolescence into her adulthood. The story is about people and their evolution and their socio-emotional development over time. And so we really get into the story of their experience at home and into Neverland, and then coming home and what it means to really be human." 

"Peter Pan" is Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's opening ballet for its 55th season.  There are four performances October 25-27 at the Benedum Center. More information about tickets can be found online.
