BRATTLEBORO — New England Youth Theatre, 100 Flat Street, presents Peter Pan and Wendy, adapted by Doug Rand and directed by Doran Hamm, to be performed at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26 and 27 and Nov. 2 and 3, and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3.
NEYT's Junior Company invites audiences to suspend their beliefs about what is possible and fly out Wendy's window and into Peter Pan's world of pirates, fairies, mischievous children, and endless make-believe.
According to a news release, this production of the beloved tale of Peter Pan “is told in a fresh new way, using styles reminiscent of Greek and Kabuki Theater mashed up with Peter and the Starcatcher.”
Featuring shadow puppets, lots of physical comedy, and kitchen-utensil swordplay, the story is told by a chorus of young actors who create the world of Peter Pan using light and shadow, found objects, and plenty of stage magic.
