Libertyville preschoolers bring 'Peter Pan' to life

Libertyville Cooperative Preschool students danced around the stage and "flew" through the audience during Wednesday's presentation of "Peter Pan" at Trinity Community Church in Libertyville.

"It is fabulous. They are flying through the audience and there is Tick Tock Crock," preschool teacher Margie Witt said. "They are really excited. They put on their own makeup and worked on the background."

In addition, all of the props, costumes and tickets were designed by the students.

"I'm really excited. I really want to do the sword fight," said kindergartner Casey Whitebread, who plays Peter Pan.

Fifteen students ages 4 to 6 dressed in colorful costumes as they performed around a large pirate ship onstage in the show that featured sword fights, flying fairies and swimming mermaids.
