Peter Pan Activities —
Before you see Peter Pan why not discover Neverland at home (here’s a clue: it’s the second star to the right and straight on 'til morning).
- Read the book by J.M. Barrie with your children. Peter Pan and Wendy is available at most libraries and bookstores and there are many abridged and pictorial versions for younger children. You can also download an audio book for those longer car journeys.
- Watch one of the many film adaptations of this classic tale that are available. The movie Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast has just been released and the trailer for Pan, which tells the back story of Peter and stars Hugh Jackman is now ready to watch online.
- Listen to a storyteller read Peter Pan in QPAC’s Neverland-themed foyer before the show.
- Play. Peter Pan is the tale of a boy who never grew up. And why would you, when there is so much fun to be had? In anticipation of Peter Pan we encourage the whole family to get creative. Trace your shadow (if you can catch it!), plan a treasure hunt (where are those ballet tickets?), make fairy bread, fairy wings, pirate hats and cardboard crocodiles.
Peter Pan is a ballet filled with play, and the adventure can start long before you arrive at the theatre.
