From Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, Redmond Middle School will present Disney’s “Peter Pan Jr.”

Performances will be at Redmond High School (17272 N.E. 104th St.) with 7 p.m. shows all three evenings as well as a 2 p.m. show on Feb. 1.

The story follows Wendy and her brothers after Peter Pan, the hero of their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Neverland. After following Peter and his sidekick Tinker Bell past “the second star to the right and straight on till morning,” they explore the island and Peter’s secret hideout with the Lost Boys and leap into high-flying battles with swashbuckling pirates and the infamous Captain Hook.

Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie’s play, Disney’s “Peter Pan Jr.” is a modern version of the tale about a boy who wouldn’t grow up. The score includes new arrangements of classic Disney songs, such as “Following the Leader,” “You Can Fly,” “The Second Star to the Right” and “Yo Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me.”

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children.
