Search for the Second Star
Can you help Peter Pan & friends?
In December 2019, we created Search for the Second Star in partnership with The REP.
After the success of “Over the Rainbow” in 2018, we were thrilled to get back into The DOOR. With a cast of actors from One of a Kind and BecauseWeCanCanCan, and some new faces from our schools, we started scheming how to turn the family tale of Peter Pan into an accessible experience for everyone. It was out with the old and in with the glitter – with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan leading the quest to recover the missing Second Star.

What did people think?
We were able to welcome almost 200 people to see the performance over the 5-day run, with several shows selling out completely. We welcomed schools, friends and families, some of whom had never set foot in a theatre, or had never felt welcomed or safe in theatre spaces before. Here’s just a few snippets of what some people said about it:
“We loved it, perfectly pitched for everyone. We will be back next year.”
“An opportunity given to all people to experience theatre at its best!
“Pitched just right to appeal to a variety of ages & abilities & can be easily accessed by all. Absolutely wonderful.”
