Based on the Academy Award-winning motion picture and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up." Finding Neverland features music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham.

J.M. Barrie, a struggling playwright, encounters a widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four sons in Kensington Park. As Barrie befriends the family, he is inspired by their adventures, particularly Peter, who is reluctant to play due to his grief. Barrie helps him to learn to play again and becomes inspired to create a new art form: children's theatre. But who will pay to see a play about children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly?

Rehearsal Dates & Times:

This production will take place August 19 - October 25. Please see the Tentative Production Calendar button located on this audition page.

Performances will take place October 16 - 25 at Red Phoenix Performing Arts Studio.

Attending rehearsals is essential to the theatre process. We ask that each person turn in a conflict calendar prior to casting. We know that sometimes things can come up like unforeseen illness or emergencies, so we ask that families notify the directors if you must miss rehearsal. More than two unexcused absences, or cast members who neglect to regularly attend rehearsals may lead to reduced stage time or role reassignment.  The cast must be available and may not miss tech week and performances (unless approved by the directors) as these dates are required.
