Join the conversation in this Q&A as part of Wendy’ s Peter Pan performance at the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. The 30-minute prologue Q&A begins at 6:30pm and the play performance begins at 7:30pm on Friday, July 26, 2024.

About Wendy’s Peter Pan:

J.M. Barrie’s beloved fairytale of a boy who never wanted to grow up was written one hundred and twenty years ago. Like the stories of Shakespeare, the adventures in Neverland are ingrained in the vocabulary and hearts of our culture. Ellen Geer’s pondering frames the original script through the eyes of Wendy and her children, encouraging the next generation to never lose the innocence of belief in other worlds and other ways.
