Smee

Journey to Neverland this May as The Ballet Team presents Smee, an all-original orchestral ballet based on the characters of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan.

Synopsis
Smee, the loveable swashbuckling pirate, dreams of becoming Captain of the Jolly Roger someday. There’s just one problem, the Jolly Roger already has a Captain, and that’s the wickedly wicked Captain Hook. When Smee stumbles upon a map to the lost treasure of the Spanish Conquistadors, he might have just found his path to becoming Captain. He will, however, need to navigate crocodile infested waters, avoid the sirens at Mermaid Lagoon, and confront that mischievous pair Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, to secure the gold and his legacy as the greatest Captain in all of Neverland.
