Stephen Crane House Presents THE ADVENTURES OF WENDY & MICHAEL, 5/2
On Sunday, May 2nd at 2pm, the Stephen Crane House in Asbury Park NJ celebrates the 150th birthday of "Peter Pan" author J.M. Barrie with a free reading of "The Adventures of Wendy & Michael", three short satires on children's fiction by Michael T. Mooney. The trilogy of comic plays follows the misadventures of Wendy and Michael, two darling British children who encounter a royalty-free, ever-practical nanny and a burglar in green tights, who may or may not be the legendary Peter Pan. In the final play of the trilogy, the duo find themselves in Hell - which oddly resembles their childhood nursery.
The three plays have been presented from coast to coast at venues from First Stage Hollywood in California to the legendary Village Gate Theatre in New York City. The cast includes Julianne DiPietro-Renshaw as Wendy, Eric Rolland as Michael, Valerie Hufford DeLeon as Peter Pan, and Cody Dalton as Mary Moppins. Playwright Mooney directs. Refreshments will follow the readings. The event is free, but donations will be accepted toward Asbury Park Little League. The Stephen Crane House is located at 508 4th Avenue in Asbury Park. The House serves as a community arts center and was recently featured on an episode of TV's "Ghost Hunters".
Seating for this event is limited, so advance reservations are strongly recommended. Call 732-775-5682 or visit www.thestephencranehouse.org
