Pirates. Lost Boys. A ticking crocodile. A child who never wants to grow up.

Yes, it’s Peter Pan – and a couple of Burnaby artists will be part of the fun when a contemporary adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s classic story comes to the stage starting in November.

Carousel Theatre for Young People is presenting Bad Hat Theatre’s Peter Pan, backed by live folk and jazz music, at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island from Nov. 23 to Jan. 5.
