Diamond in the Rough Productions flies to Never-land — far, far away from its Wahiawa base — to stage Peter Pan Nov. 21-23 at Paliku Theatre.

Most of the cast and director Kristi Kashimoto-Rowbottom live in Mililani and West Oahu, with the exception of Capt. Hook, who is played by Broadway actor Keith Broughton of New York City.

A Broadway veteran herself, Kashimoto-Rowbottom promises a “You Can Fly” experience for a small fee for selected keiki at the shows.

“No one will be really flying,” she explained. “But this is the chance for children to come up onstage and for a small moment ‘fly’ with the cast and be a part of our show!” The package includes special seating for four, a gift, and meeting and photos with the cast. For details on the flying gig or to reserve seats for the school show at 10 a.m. Nov. 21, email ditrdirector@yahoo.com. Shhhh: Make it a surprise for the keiki.

Tickets for non-flying fans cost $19 for ages 13 and up and $10 for ages 3 to 12 at showtix4u.com, or call 1-866-967-8167. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 22, and 4 p.m. Nov. 23.
