PUTNEY — Neverland - a place where children don't ever have to grow up: No jobs. No responsibilities. Just adventure after adventure in a land inhabited by pirates, Lost Boys, mermaids and, in this interpretation, a band of wild cats.
It is fitting that sevcnth- and eighth-graders at The Grammar School are working with director Rebecca Waxman to create a fresh take on this beloved story for their annual musical production, as Pan explores the same terrain these middle-schoolers are crossing now: that wild and thorny territory between youth and adulthood.
Peter Pan, produced by Alli Lubin, runs at The Grammar School on Friday (7 p.m.), Saturday (2 and 7 p.m.) and Sunday (2 p.m.) April 8, 9, and 10. Call 802-387-5364 for seat reservations.
Children, and children-at-heart, will be captivated by the production. Peter Pan is based on the script by Frederick Gaines from the book by J.M. Barrie and produced by special arrangement with Plays for Young Audiences.
