FINDING NEVERLAND & Inside Broadway Partner for 'Creating Magic' Program for NYC Students

Inside Broadway's Executive Director Michael Presser is pleased to announce that on Thursday, December 10, Finding Neverland and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (205 West 46th Street) will be visited by thousands of NYC public school students when the theatre arts & education organization will present its popular 'Creating the Magic' Program. Featuring the cast and production crew of the hit Broadway musical, the special 80 minute program will be offered at 10:45am and 1:15pm.

Providing a truly unique Broadway experience, Inside Broadway's free 'Creating the Magic' Program will be presented to over 3,000 New York City public school students who will get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner world of Broadway and learn about career opportunities in the theater. From exciting set, lighting and sound demonstrations, musical performances from the cast and a Q&A session, attendees will have a special behind-the-scenes look at a Broadway show featuring members of the Finding Neverland cast and production crew.

Based on the Academy Award-winning film of the same name, this breathtaking show follows playwright J.M. Barrie as he summons the courage to become the writer - and the man - he yearns to be. Barrie finds the inspiration he's been missing when he meets the beautiful widow Sylvia and her four young sons: Jack, George, Michael and Peter. Delighted by the boys' hilarious escapades, Barrie conjures the magical world of Neverland and writes a play unlike any the high-society London theatergoers have ever seen. It's a tremendous risk, but as Barrie himself has discovered-"When you believe, you can fly." For more information on the show, please visit www.findingneverlandthemusical.com.
