PETER PAN "FLYING" INTO TEMECULA THIS FRIDAY!

Literally “Flying” , into the Old Town Temecula Community Theater this Friday is Resident Company, Temecula Performing Arts Company’s production of PETER PAN, the original British musical version.

Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish playwright J. M. Barrie.

Piers Chater Robinson wrote the book, music and lyrics for the musical (British) version.
