Based on the play by Jeremy Bloom, an adaptation of J.M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy, Applause Academy's all age production of Peter and Wendy presents a lyrical and atmospheric interpretation of a familiar story. Directed and produced by Greg Geer, Katelyn Miller, and Andy LeBlanc, the play portrays a timeless tale of eternal youth, adventure, and responsibility as Peter Pan lures Wendy away from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland.
During her time in the faraway Neverland, Wendy joins the adventures of Pan alongside Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, The Lost Boys, the menacing Captain Hook and Smee, and others as she gradually becomes privy to the magical possibilities of youth, the joy in caring for others, the heartache of leaving behind family, and the inevitable impermanence of Peter's memory in the wake of evanescent time.
"All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up."
