As the main stage opener for Barter’s 75th anniversary season, Peter Pan will be a delight for all audiences. In this classical adaptation by Richard Rose of J.M. Barrie’s beautiful story, Peter Pan, the boy who won’t grow up, visits the Darling family in London and whisks Wendy and her brothers away on the adventure of their lives to Neverland. They meet the Lost Boys, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and Tiger Lily in an enchanted world which all children dream of visiting.

Barter Theatre is a professional equity theatre in historic downtown Abingdon, Va. Those young actors who are selected will be acting along side professional actors in this exciting 75th anniversary season production. These auditions are for boys ages 8-to-14 who are 4-feet-11-inches or shorter for the role of John Darling, and boys or girls who are 4-feet-9-inches or shorter for the role of Michael Darling. Children selected for this show will be flying during the performances.

Auditionees must arrive promptly at Barter Theatre and be prepared to stay the entire time. There will be no singing for this audition.
