(Branson, MO) -- This past weekend, the new Peter Pan show opened in Branson. No doubt many kids will see the play and wish they could fly like the star, Cathy Rigby. Three lucky boys got that chance last week.

See why their "air time" is special and symbolic in this Oliver's Ozarks report.

You might say these boys are strapped in for the ride of their life.

"I'm going to fly like Peter Pan," says Parker Strobeck.

"Guess I'm feeling excited about it," says Xavier Kleibar.

"Going to fly like Peter Pan," says Thomas Canter.

The folks at the Mansion Theater invited Parker, Thomas and Xavier to take a flight, just like Cathy Rigby does in the Peter Pan show. It's an extra special ride for these boys, who each have a form of Muscular Dystrophy. Their muscle wasting diseases will eventually rob them of the chance to enjoy normal activities like other children.

"We thought this would be a great fit. Kathy had said I'd love to do something for kids while I'm here. And I said I've got the perfect match for us. It's Muscular Dystrophy," says Marc Whitmore, Mansion theater Vice President.

"The reason that we fly them, if they're capable of flying, is that it gives them a sense of freedom and to get to do something that nobody else can do," says actress Cathy Rigby.

And these boys are pretty sure their friends will be excited to hear about the high flying escapade.

"They're going to say wow, I wish I were an airplane," says Parker.

The whole goal in getting these guys in the air is to give them a chance to escape. And perhaps forget about some of their own physical limitations.

"Other kids that get to do sports and what not that they can't really do, this is something they can do and give them some extra joy," says Kerri Strobeck, Parker's mom.

"Sometimes, we feel a little earthbound. But through this technique, we get to symbolically say you know what, there is hope. You can lift off and think happy thoughts," says Whitmore.

And for a moment, fly like the wind.

"I think he'll talk about Peter Pan for a long time," says Kerri.

The Mansion Theater is also selling pixie dust to patrons after the show, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association here in the Ozarks.
