Durham Ballet Theatre (DBT) is pleased to offer a free sensory-friendly performance featuring the 4th performance of the storybook ballet of Peter Pan based on the book by J.M. Barrie will be held at the Carolina Theatre on Friday evening, May 17, 2024.
This performance is open to audiences including both the young and the elderly, those with physical disabilities, cognitive and developmental disabilities, people from group homes and hospitals including their families and caregivers. In recent years we have added those who are economically challenged to our guest list.
This adventure begins at the London home of the Darling family, a typical evening in 1912, as the weary parents try to settle their children down for bed while the young ones insist on staying up late. Little do Wendy, John, and Michael know that a fantastic journey awaits them that night. Soon an impish shadow appears, whisking the children away to the magical world of Neverland, where Peter Pan, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, Princess Tiger Lily, mermaids, pirates, and a hungry crocodile engage them in daring adventures filled with flying fairies, sword fights, rescues, and more.
As Peter himself might say, “To find out what happens next would be an awfully big adventure!”
