Peter & Wendy balances music, movement, and stage magic to capture the whimsy, humor, and poignancy of Barrie's classic tale.
Northern Stage will continue its 2025/26 Season with Peter & Wendy, a new adaptation of J.M. Barrie's beloved Peter Pan, running December 4, 2025 through January 1, 2026, in the Byrne Theater at the Barrette Center for the Arts. Adapted and directed by Eric Love, this fresh reimagining invites audiences of all ages to fly to Neverland and rediscover the wonder of growing up, and the beauty of refusing to.
"This story has been told so many times, but every generation finds their own Peter and their own Wendy,” says Love. “In our version, the line between childhood imagination and adult understanding blurs in playful, heartfelt ways. I wanted to create a version that feels timeless but also alive in the here and now.”
Featuring a talented ensemble of professional actors and young local performers, Peter & Wendy balances music, movement, and stage magic to capture the whimsy, humor, and poignancy of Barrie's classic tale.
