Fairy Tales in the Park, is a series of free live theatrical performances geared towards children ages 3 to 10. This week the new show, "Peter Pan 2: Hook's Revenge," premieres on Saturday, June 6 at 11:30am in Westlake, 4pm in Simi, and Sunday, June 7 at Channel Island Harbor at 2pm.

The following week on, Saturday, June 13th the show will repeat in Camarillo at 11:30am and Ventura at 4pm.



In Peter Pan 2: Hook's Revenge, it's been ten years and Captain James Hook is looking for revenge! He has found Peter Pan...but there's just one little 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 pirate daughters! Hook decides to kidnap Wendy and jog Peter's memory. Will Peter remember who he really is? Will Wendy be rescued? And why is Tinkerbell acting so strange?


Cast Members in this production include:
  • Peter Pan is played by SPENCER ANDELSON who has been acting for almost 3 and a half years and graduated from Moorpark with an AA in Performing Arts this past May and will be transferring next year. When not acting he enjoys spending time with family and nerding out with good friends.
