The new threesixty° stage production of Peter Pan, playing in San Francisco’s Ferry Park through August 29, will next be presented at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa beginning September 28, with an opening on October 3.

J M Barrie’s classic story is performed in the threesixty° Theatre, a state-of-the-art theatre pavilion, which will be set up beside OCPAC’s Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts on the future site of the Orange County Museum of Art.

Ben Harrison directs the production, which is written by Tanya Ronder, featuring music by Benjamin Wallfisch. The production features live actors, stunning puppets, epic music, dazzling flying sequences, and the world’s first 360 degree CGI theater set.

Nate Fallows plays the title role in the show, with the cast also including Abby Ford as Wendy Darling, Jonathan Hyde as Capt Hook/Mr. Darling, and Itxaso Moreno as Tinker Bell, along with Heidi Beuhler, Darrell Brockis, Benjamin Chamberlain, Samantha Hopkins, Ciaran Joyce, Zoot Lynam, Mohsen Nouri, David Poynor, Antony Strachan, Ian Street, Lee Turnbull and Arthur Wilson.

The production team includes Fleur Darkin (choreography), William Dudley (projection scenery designs), Gregory Clarke (sound design), Mark Henderson (lighting design), Nicholas Hall (fight direction), Sue Buckmaster (puppetry design), and Paul Kieve (illusion).
