Welcome!

First off - let's start this blog right by thanking its creator, Mrs. Lisa Venezia (our Webmaster), for her wonderful idea and her help in setting it all up. Lisa came up with this while watching one of our blocking rehearsals. Many thanks Lisa for your creativity and unwavering support!

I would like to welcome all of you to the official HTW, Inc. blog for the pilot production of "Disney's Peter Pan JR." On behalf of the entire creative team and production staff, I would just like to say what an honor it is to be working on this project. A a debt of gratitude goes out to the creative development, licensing, and education departments at Disney Theatrical Productions for trusting us and giving us the opportunity to help develop a new musical, one which is sure to become an instant classic in the catalogue of Disney Musicals. We would also like to thank the City of South Amboy for their support, and an extra special thanks goes to Director of Recreation & Senior Services, Mary Lou DeBlis, for doing everything under the sun to ensure a successful production. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I am amazed after each and every rehearsal by this cast's commitment to the project, as well as their enthusiasm to learn more about theatre and the arts. We have quite a production geared up and our new educational STUDIOTM program is a truly unique, one of a kind experience.

We will be using this blog to fully document the entire production experience, as well as highlight the performers, artists, and volunteers who are making all the magic happen. Expect to see rehearsal photos and videos, production designs, interviews, articles, and updates! More to come, so check back often and feel free to post!

Remember, this is an extension of our theatre community and we hope you will all embrace this new endeavor and make it soar! Have fun bloggers!

Best,

Wilfredo Hernandez

Producer & Director, "Disney's Peter Pan JR."
