Excitement is in the air for the upcoming production of Peter Pan Jr. as set construction got underway last week and students and teachers created bulletin boards to promote the exciting musical.  Captain Hook’s pirate ship is taking shape at the center of the ACS stage — built by ACS parent and former student Mark Huff and ACS parent Tony Boules and Travis Shafer, who are owners of Architectural Master Builders based in Parsipanny, NJ.

“It’s so exciting to see this giant pirate ship come to life on the stage that will create the illusion of the cast and the audience being on the ship and a part of the action,” said show director Genevieve Huff. Additional sections of the set, including Wendy’s nursery window, will continue to be built in time for tech week and dress rehearsals the week of November 15. Anyone interested in volunteering to help with set construction should contact Mrs. Huff at ghuff@acseht.org.

Mrs. Scardilli’s 7th grade mixed media art class recently finished designing a bulletin board outside the school library depicting a scene of Peter Pan with Wendy and her siblings flying in the air near the Tower of London.  Another bulletin board features the photos of all 46 cast members in the musical, with their names and the parts they will play in the show.
