PETER PAN - FUN FACTS
The children of a family friend were the inspiration for the characters of Peter and the Lost Boys in James Barrie’s play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. When their parents died Barrie unofficially adopted them. Because of his love and concern for children, Barrie gave the rights to his Peter Pan plays and novels to the Great Ormand Street Hospital for children in London.

SNOW WHITE
The two-actor version of Snow White premiered at the Rehoboth Summer Children's Theatre On July 8, 1986. The show was written and performed by company founders Elise and Steve Seyfried.
