L to R: Austin Miller (Peter Pan), Chase Snyder (Wendy), and Chris Carnicelli (Captain Hook) rehearse a scene from 'Peter Pan 2:Hook's Revenge.'
The Gypsies in a Trunk, presented by Children’s Dental Group, will conclude their 16th season of free Fairy Tales in the Park in September with “Peter Pan 2: Hook’s Revenge” in Westlake Village.
It’s been 10 years and Captain James Hook (looking for revenge) has found Peter Pan…there’s just one problem, Peter Pan doesn’t know he’s Peter Pan anymore. Worse yet, all of Hook’s pirates have retired to Florida leaving the captain with their daughters. Hook decides to kidnap Wendy and take her back to Never, Never, Land to jog Peter’s memory. Will Peter remember who he really is? Will Wendy be rescued? And why is Tinkerbell acting so strange? This original tale is written and directed by Chris Carnicelli.
Gypsies in a Trunk is proud to welcome back Children’s Dental Group, with Spaceship Offices in Oxnard, Camarillo, Simi and Thousand Oaks as the 2010 Presenting Sponsor. Children’s Dental Group are specialists in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics serving Ventura County’s children since 1977. Visit them online at spaceshipdentist.com. Their partnership will allow us to tell more families about our free entertainment.
The all-volunteer troupe of Gypsies in a Trunk is pleased to hold their performances in relaxed outdoor settings at five locations to allow children and their families to enjoy live theatre at its best. Performances are free to the public, but in the age-old gypsy tradition, actors pass the hat at intermission; any donation to help cover the costs of costumes and props is greatly appreciated. So gather up the kids, pack a picnic or snacks and enjoy free family entertainment.
Performances of “Peter Pan 2: Hook’s Revenge”, will be held September 4 in Westlake Village at 11:30 am at Foxfield Park. Ample seating is available on the ground at all locations, you may bring blankets, lunch or snacks.
We love Fido too, but pets have a tendency to upstage the actors so please leave Fido at home if possible. Visit www.fairytalesinthepark.com for directions and maps or call (661) 718-3968 for information.
