BWW Interviews: Robert Butters, Producer of Peter Pan at Atlanta’s Pemberton Place, beginning January 21.
by Joseph Harrison - Jan 4, 2011
For many people, old and young alike, the story of Peter Pan brings up very distinct images: the Darling children flying off with Peter to Neverland, the irascible Captain Hook and his band of surly pirates, or the mischevious fairy, Tinkerbell. These memories come from years of tellings and re-tellings of this classic story, but new memories will be created for theater-goers when the latest production of Peter Pan comes to Atlanta January 21 through April 10. Performing in a state-of-the-art tented structure in Pemberton Place (downtown, between the World of Coke and the Georgia Aquarium) this production, which utilizes 360 degrees of CGI graphics and state of the art technology to immerse the audience in the world of Peter Pan, is sure to amaze. To learn about the production and its journey to Atlanta, we spoke with Robert Butters, one of the producers of the show and found out what we can expect when Peter and friends fly into Atlanta later this month.
