Arden Children's Theatre has announced the second extension of its first production of the 2024/25 season, Peter Pan.

Directed by Obie and Barrymore Award winner Whit MacLaughlin, Douglas Irvine’s imaginative adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan brings the timeless story to life in a vibrant production for audiences ages six and up. 

With captivating staging and dynamic performances, the production invites young audiences to journey to Neverland, where they’ll encounter beloved and notorious characters, including Wendy Darling, Tinker Bell, and Captain Hook. Peter Pan debuted on the Arden’s 360-person F. Otto Haas Stage on November 27, with performances now running through February 1.

The additional show dates are as follows:

  • Saturday, February 1: at Noon.

  • Saturday, February 1: at 4 p.m.

Additionally, The Arden is excited to present ASL shadow-interpreted performances of Peter Pan, where interpreters “shadow” the cast’s movements on stage, providing an immersive experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. The ASL-interpreted performances align with The Arden’s commitment to accessibility and inclusion, ensuring that the magic of live theatre is available to all audiences. Learn about the theatre's accessibility initiatives here

ASL Shadow-Interpreted show dates:

  • Saturday, January 18: at 4 p.m.

Featuring six Philadelphia-based actors, the adaptation of Peter Pan immerses audiences in a dreamlike world where the classic tale of adventure and wonder unfolds with modern touches and dynamic visual storytelling. The reimagined production opens with Wendy, now grown up, sharing her memories of meeting Peter Pan with her daughter, Jane. As Wendy begins the tale, she takes the audience back to her childhood, reliving the moment she and her brother Michael left their London nursery to embark on an adventure with Peter Pan. Together, they soar to the fantastical island of Neverland, where pirates, fairies, and adventure await.
