April 19 @ 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
A reimagining of Peter Pan as told by Wendy Darling… Wendy gazes out at the night sky dreaming of blue lagoons, magical moons and most of all, stories. And tonight, there’s magic in the air…
Fly with Wendy and her brothers as they create the world of Neverland, where time stands still and the impossible seems possible. Even everyday objects become extraordinary under the magical moon. A sparkling new production written by international award-winning writer Mike Kenny, scored with exquisite live music and songs, enthralling movement and a sprinkle of fairy dust.
“Underneath A Magical Moon really was a delight, the boys loved it, and I’m sure many of the children who see it will be inspired to go home, pull out old sheets and buckets and create their own pirate ships, Wendy houses and anything else their imagination can conjure up’ – thebrickcastle.com
SENSORY FRIENDLY PERFORMANCES
Des Moines Performing Arts is excited to continue our sensory-friendly initiatives.
Dedicated performances contain all the joy of a typical theater setting with a few adjustments to help those with sensory sensitivities feel more comfortable, including alterations to light and sound, a variety of seating options, an environment that encourages breaks when needed, ASL interpretation and staff that will welcome guests from the moment they arrive. Families who do not require these accommodations are still welcome to attend.
Questions regarding these performances can be directed to the Des Moines Performing Arts Ticket Office at 515-246-2300 or by emailing us.
Sensory Items are available by request at all Civic Center performances. Visit our Guest Services Counters in both the Nollen and Prairie Meadows lobbies to borrow items such as weighted lap pads, noise-dampening headphones and a variety of fidgets.
