For the last 23 years Marlborough Childrens and Youth Theatre have been staging Cushion Theatre Productions in Blenheim.

This year we are adapting J M Barries classic PETER PAN

"Experiencing childrens theatre is like a present you and your child can keep for ever and ever. When you come to the Theatre with a child, you laugh together, imagine together and make memories that will last your whole life…"

This year we join up with Peter, Wendy, Michael and John going to Neverland meeting Pirates, Indians, Crocodiles and Lost Boys as they take you on a magical journey. Where you truly believe in the magic of fairies.

Adapted from the famous book by J M Barrie and directed by Duncan Whiting with lots of audience participation, ideal for the whole family.

A magical, colourful and fun treat for the April School Holidays.

On the Main Stage of the ASB Theatre Marlborough.
