threesixty° entertainment announces its Neverland Festival featuring "Free Movie Tuesdays" and other free family-fun activities prior to performances at the threesixty° site throughout the summer at the Tribune Freedom Center, located at 650 W. Chicago Ave (in between Halsted St. and the Chicago River).

Activities include:

TUESDAYS - FREE MOVIE TUESDAYS
Classic movies will be shown in the PETER PAN Tent on a full size movie screen. These movies are free to all on a first-come, first-serve basis. Theatre site opens at 6:30 p.m. and movies begin at 7:00 p.m. Including: July 19 Ghostbusters; July 26 Back to the Future; Aug. 2 The Karate Kid; Aug. 9 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Aug. 16 Sixteen Candles. The Pavilion will be open for the purchase of refreshments.

WEDNESDAYS - FRIDAYS - NEVERLAND ACTIVITY NIGHTS
Prior to all performances Wednesday through Friday, children can participate in a free Neverland Coloring Corner, History of PETER PAN Exhibit, Sword Fighting demonstrations with the Peter Pan cast, plus all children who dress in Neverland Character Costumes will receive a Peter Pan Candy Award! All of this fun is on-site at the threesixty° Theatre.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAYS - NEVERLAND ACTIVITIES CONTINUE WITH LIVE BAND PERFORMANCES
In addition to the pre-show Coloring Corner, Costume Awards, and History of PETER PAN Exhibit there will be "Talk Like a Pirate" lessons - "ARGH!" Plus, there will be a hometown Chicago Rock Band, appropriately named The Lost Boys, who will perform prior to both shows on Saturday and following both Sunday performances.

Neverland, on-site at the threesixty° Theatre, is the place to be this summer. No tickets are necessary for these free activities. However, no trip to Neverland is complete without seeing the spectacular stage production of J M Barrie's PETER PAN, performing through Aug. 21, 2011. What Dean Richards (WGN-TV/Radio) calls "A MUST SEE" and Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times heralds the threesixty° Theatre and PETER PAN as "a grand Neverland." Conceived by an award-winning creative team and featuring 23 actors, stunning puppets, epic music, dazzling flying sequences and the world's first 360-degree CGI theater set, PETER PAN is an extraordinary experience.

Tickets for PETER PAN through Aug. 21, 2011 are on sale and range in price from $25 to $75. Additionally, Premium Ticket Packages are available, which include a prime seat location, a Chicago tote bag and a commemorative souvenir program. Tickets are available online at www.BroadwayInChicago.com and www.peterpantheshow.com and by phone at 888-PPANTIX. Tickets are also available at all Broadway In Chicago box offices and through Ticketmaster. For groups of 15 or more, call (312) 977?1710. Special behind-the-scenes "Into Neverland" tours will be available Saturdays throughout the run.
