Port Moody’s Inlet Theatre will be the scene for a mini-festival of plays next month.

Students in the Theatrix Youtheatre Society will show “classics in a contemporary format” on June 1, said artistic director Deborah Solberg.

The Next Treasure Island, a collaboration between Solberg and children’s musician Mr. I, runs at 7 p.m. while the Banting Middle Players present Peter Pan (directed by Lauren Hillman) at 8 p.m.

The last show, The Lorax, is from the Maillard Middle Players at 9 p.m. It is directed by Erinn Gleeson.
