A New Take On ‘Peter Pan’
Our Fabulous Variety Show, an East End troupe of actors whose theatrical performances help raise money for nonprofit groups, will present “Neverlanded,” an original and contemporary take on J.M. Barrie’s “Peter Pan,” in four performances at Guild Hall this weekend.
The story centers on Peter and Wendy, who run Neverland Incorporated, a conglomerate that manufactures Pixie Elixir, which keeps one from growing up. Perhaps taking a cue from a current presidential candidate, they have built a wall to keep out Captain Hook and his band of pirates.
Conceived, created, directed, and produced by the troupe’s founders, Anita Boyer and Kasia Klimiuk, “Neverlanded” features the company’s largest cast to date. Comedy, drama, inventive dance numbers, and musical stylings led by Amanda Jones, the musical director, are designed to entertain audiences of all ages.
Performances will take place tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 7:30, and Sunday at 2. In addition, the company will present “Neverland After Hours,” which will include Broadway show tunes, comic monologues, and musicians, dancers, and actors, on Sunday evening at 7.
Tickets for “Neverlanded” are $15 to $55 and can be purchased at ourfabulousvarietyshow.org. For “Neverland After Hours,” the tariff ranges from $20 to $35, with student tickets priced at $10.
The weekend’s programs will benefit Southampton Fresh Air Home, a residential camp facility that accommodates severely as well as mildly and moderately physically challenged children at recreational summer camps in Southampton.
