FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70TH BIRTHDAY Begins In June At Nutley Little Theatre

Nutley Little Theatre will present Sarah Ruhl’s For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday from June 13 through June 28, 2025. The opening night performance on June 13 is already sold out, with tickets available for remaining performances.

The play centers on Ann, a woman who once played Peter Pan in her youth, as she and her siblings gather in the wake of their father's passing. Set against the backdrop of memory and make-believe, the play is a meditation on mortality, family dynamics, and the enduring power of childhood imagination.

The cast includes:

• Ann Grippo as ANN

• Andrew Swanson as JOHN

• Mead H. Winters as JIM/HOOK

• Nick Pascarella as MICHAEL

• Tara Spinelli as WENDY

• Martin Pfefferkorn as GEORGE/FATHER

Directed by Gina Sarno, the production is supported by a dedicated creative and technical team, including Stage Manager Erin Sabat, Sound and Lighting Design by Sarno, and set construction by Anthony Genitempo and Jim Brown. Additional support includes fight choreography, projection design, costuming, props, and more—all contributing to a rich, immersive staging of Ruhl’s celebrated work.

Performances will be held at 8:00 p.m. on June 14, 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28, and at 2:00 p.m. on June 15, 22, and 28. The show runs approximately 90 minutes and does not include an intermission. Please note, this production is not suitable for children.

Tickets can be purchased online in advance at https://cur8.com/22421/project/127325. A limited number of tickets will also be available at the box office, which opens 30 minutes before each performance. Seating is general admission and first come, first served.
