PRESS RELEASE

=20

The CenterStage Theater Department at Walsh Jesuit High School presents =
its Spring musical production of James M Barrie's "Peter Pan," March =
16th at 7:30PM, March 17th at 7:30PM, March 18th at 2:00PM, March 23rd =
at 7:30PM, and March 24th at 2:00PM and 7:30PM in the Cuyahoga Falls =
High School Auditoium, 2300 Fourth Street, in Cuyahoga Falls. There will =
be two preview performances on March 14th, and 15th at 7PM. =20

This musical has been a timeless favorite among adults and children =
alike. Most recently, Cathy Rigby has performed and toured as Peter Pan =
and has produced a DVD presentation of the live performance as well as a =
cast CD.  Mr. Banks has procured ZFX Flying to produce the flying =
scenes. They are the same company that did Rigby's tour. It requires a =
fly system in place at the theatre as well as 15 hours of set up and =
rehearsals specific to the act of flying during the week the show opens.

The Walsh Jesuit High School theatre is undergoing a massive renovation, =
and the CenterStage Theatre has had to seek an alternate site for this =
year's productions. "I didn't want the Senior class group of actors to =
feel slighted in any way because of the construction process, so part of =
the reasons for choosing "Peter Pan" was in producing a very well known =
classic that would involve special effects, a live pit orchestra, =
dancing, comedy, in a venue that could handle all we could throw at it. =
Cuyahoga Falls High School's Auditorium was a prime location and they =
have allowed us to rent their facility and technical crew so this year's =
production will be held in an auditorium that is designed to accommodate =
all our needs. Charles Korecki, the CFHS Theatre Manager, has been very =
helpful in providing the necessary technical information required for =
putting a show of this magnitude on. The other factors in choosing =
"Peter Pan," came from the size of the cast, and the varying styles of =
characters it creates as well as memorable music, a time honored script, =
and sets that were challenging, yet interesting to create.  As a 1974 =
alumni of Cuyahoga Falls High School, Mr. Banks is indeed excited about =
producing the show there.  "Doing our show there has brought back many =
memories for me as I walk through those hallways and in the auditorium. =
Much of my interest in professional performing came from the experiences =
I had there and I am grateful to Walsh Jesuit for stepping up and =
providing funds to make this show a reality and also to Cuyahoga Falls =
High School, for giving me a chance to produce something on the stage of =
my alma mater."

"We are attempting to recreate the magic and energy from the original =
Broadway version, while at the same time, add our own creative flavor to =
the staging and characters," says Mr. Banks of the staging concepts.  =
Cast as Peter Pan are Erin Pinkerton of Stow and Caroline Bach from =
Copley. Senior Ryan Miller, from Hudson will portray the evil and over =
the top Captain Hook, while Junior Mark Leach from Norton will be his =
number one, Mr. Smee. Jessica Posey of Fairlawn and Joanna Bird from =
Akron will play Wendy, while Jonathon and Michael will be played by =
Stephen Wojtila of Aurora and Alyse Marquinez from Hudson. Macedonia =
resident Jackie Komos plays the role of Tiger Lily, Jimmy Wojtila will =
be Mr. Darling and Danielle Wright of Akron  plays Mrs. Darling. =
Macedonia resident Rick Heldenfels is Slightly and Hayden Gilbert of =
Akron is Starkey.

Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for students and Senior =
Citizens.  Senior group discounts are also available as well as for =
school groups. For more information on the upcoming production, you may =
