FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70TH BIRTHDAY

For the final production of their 90th Season, Nutley Little Theatre presents FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70TH BIRTHDAY, written by Sarah Ruhl and directed by lifelong Nutley resident, Gina Sarno. The production will run from June 13th through June 28th in Nutley, New Jersey. You may or may not know, the role of Peter Pan is traditionally played by a woman, such as Betty Bronson in 1924 and Mary Martin in 1955. For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday, by Sarah Ruhl, tells the story of a woman who played the part in her youth. When Ann thinks of her father, she immediately remembers playing Peter Pan in her hometown theater in Iowa, particularly when he used to bring her flowers after her performance. Her memory is jogged by the fact that she and her four siblings are in their father’s hospital room during his final moments. His death sparks a conversational wake that includes everything from arguments over politics to when each sibling realized that they grew up. For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday, is a loving look at a family’s view of death, life and the allure of never growing up. The cast: Ann Grippo (ANN) Andrew Swanson (JOHN) Mead H.
