Sanford High School brings Peter Pan’s origin story to life

SANFORD, Maine — Before Neverland, before Captain Hook, and before a boy named Peter Pan, there was an adventure waiting to happen. Sanford High School Theater Company will present "Peter and the Starcatcher " at Sanford Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, November 15, at 2 p.m. Starring Jaiden Mann as Peter Pan and featuring 45 students in the cast and crew, the Tony Award-winning play takes audiences on an imaginative journey filled with pirates, shipwrecks, unlikely heroes, and a mysterious treasure called starstuff. Along the way, an orphan known only as Boy and a determined young girl named Molly help set the stage for the familiar world of Peter Pan. The production’s creative team includes artistic director Brett Williams, backstage director and costume designer Kristie Baker, and lighting designer Jeff Perry. “Anyone who knows Peter Pan will love discovering how his story began,” said Williams. “There’s so much humor and imagination in this play, and our students bring a wonderful energy to it. It’s a great opportunity to come out and enjoy live theater and support our talented students.” Tickets are $18 for adults, $14 for seniors, and free

American Island Towns That Still Depend On Passenger Ferries For Everyday Life In 2026

When The Ferry Is Basically Your Highway For most Americans, missing the bus is annoying. In these communities, missing the ferry can mean missing your connection to groceries, appointments, work, school, supplies, or the mainland altogether. From tiny Maine fishing villages to remote Alaskan settlements, these 25 American island communities still rely heavily on boats in 2026. Could you handle planning everyday life around the ferry schedule? Factinate Ltd. #25. Peaks Island, Maine Island: Peaks Island | Ferry connection: Portland Peaks Island sits only a few miles from downtown Portland, yet residents can't simply drive across a bridge to get there. Casco Bay Lines provides year-round passenger and vehicle service, making the ferry a normal part of commuting and everyday errands. It carries far more than tourists, including residents, vehicles, freight, mail, and students. The trip may be short, but that stretch of Casco Bay creates a surprisingly different way of life. #24. Friday Harbor, Washington Island: San Juan Island | Ferry connection: Anacortes and neighboring islands Friday Harbor looks like a postcard-perfect waterfront vacation town, but its ferries perform a much less glamorous job: connecting island life to the rest of Washington. Washington State Ferries serves San Juan Island
