Trunk Show: A Portable Production of Peter Pan

A production of Peter Pan conjures up images of actors flying on guidewires, an island and a pirate ship, and a full orchestra. Dani Taylor (CFA’17) imagines a pared-down version, which she’s dubbed Bringing Neverland. How pared-down? All of the costumes, props, and musical accompaniment fit inside one trunk.
