Avery's Girl Scout troop had a workshop at Theater Under The Stars. They got a behind-the-scenes tour of the musical Peter Pan, including a chance to gather Pixie Dust off of the stage. They also learned to sing and dance to "I Wont Grow Up".
The next weekend, Nana and D had two extra tickets to see the performance of Peter Pan, so they took some very lucky ladies. The girls ate at their all-time favorite restaurant, rode over to the theater in a horse-drawn carriage, sang and watched Peter Pan fly all over the stage, and had a magical evening. At intermission, Nana noticed Kate had been a little quiet, so she checked in with her. "Nana, that lady that is Peter Pan... did she know how to fly already when she was in gymnastics when she was a little girl?" Sweet Kate was trying to figure out if flying is a learned skill or a gift from birth.
Here is what the girls dictated to me about their experience:
Our troop went to Peter Pan practice. We also got to go backstage. We saw all of the stuff that they use and we saw their dressing rooms. The next weekend, we saw Peter Pan. We rode in a carriage pulled by a horse to get there. My favorite part of the play was when Peter Pan sang at the very end. When it was all done, it was almost midnight. - Avery
The pirates were funny. My favorite part was when Peter Pan flew across the audience. I liked having Nana and DD as my special dates and getting Coke at the half part. - Kate
