Peter Pan- What A Phenomenal Production

Every year, Cheshire Academy students put on and preform a play in the fall.  Today, I went to go see Cheshire Academy's fall production.  This fall, the play being shown was Peter Pan.  I have to admit, going into this play, I was a little skeptical of how good it would be and whether I would enjoy it.  But, I ended up really liking the play.  It achieved all of my expectations and was a fantastic performance by the whole student cast.  The aspects of the play that I liked the most and think are important to make a play enjoyable are humor, emotion, set design, and music.  

Throughout the play, humor was used.  The use of humor definitely got the audience more interested in what was being said and really complimented the whole production.  Plus, it was clear that the entire cast loved their roles.  On stage, everyone was enthusiastic and really embodied their characters well.  The emotion throughout the play was great and I was surprised to see that even after preforming the play twice in front of an audience the student cast still put all of their energy out on the stage while reciting their lines.  In addition, the set designs were impeccable.  For a small school play, I was not expecting the sets to look as great as they did.  The backdrops, props, and lights complimented every scene in the play very well.  Also, I can tell the most was made out of limited materials, and I commend the whole crew for changing the sets as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Finally, the music was the glue to this play, it connected everything together.  I loved the music played before the play started and during the intermission.  It was a great addition to the production.  Plus, while the stage crew was altering sets, I was impressed with the beautiful flute music interludes. 

From the very beginning to the very end, I enjoyed CA's production of Peter Pan.  I though everyone did a phenomenal job putting this whole performance together.  Every crew and cast member should be very proud and pleased with the end product they got after preforming this play.  I could tell, and I am sure others in the audience could tell, that Cheshire Academy students and staff worked really hard to put on this production.  After watching Peter Pan this fall, all I can say is well done Cheshire Academy cast and crew involved in this performance.
