BREAKDOWN
SEEKING:
[WENDY] she/her. 18+ to play late teens. BIPOC. Wendy is smart, curious, and precocious. She is on the verge of breaking out of the social mores of the Edwardian era. Movement and aerial training are a plus. Uses a British Dialect/ Received Pronunciation.
[PETER PAN] he/him. 18+ to play late teens. A contemporary with Wendy. Peter is a smart, energetic boy who relishes the thought of shaping the world (Neverland). A risk taker and adventurer, he loves a flight of fancy—sometimes finding himself in challenging situations with the grounding presences of Tiger Lily and Wendy. Very athletic, ability to fight, fly, aerial skills a big plus.
[TIGER LILY] she/her. 18+ to play late teens/early 20s. A proud Indigenous girl from Turtle Island. She is a real kickass kind of girl who knows how to take care of herself because she has to. Her clothing has some magic to it - it can change to what camouflages her best. Wood, star light, water. This is HER land and it's been taken over by Captain Hook, and she wants it respected and wants it back. Athletic, mover, gymnastics, and aerial training a plus, puppeteering, clowning, and fighting skills.
[SMEE] he/him. Mid 20s-Mid 50s. BIPOC. Captain Hook’s right hand. Deferential and sycophantic but has an edge and keen intelligence. Has strong comedic and clowning skills able to handle intricate wordplay. Will be part of the ensemble and help with puppeteering and flying castmates, and swordplay.
