(NUTLEY, NJ) -- Nutley Little Theatre presents For Peter Pan On Her 70th Birthday by Sarah Ruhl weekends from June 13-28, 2025. 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.
Ann's 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.
This play is a loving look at a family’s view of death, life and the allure of never growing up.
The production is directed by Gina Sarno. The cast includes Ann Grippo (Ann), Andrew Swanson (John), Mead Winters (Jim), Nick Pascarella (Michael), Tara Spinelli (Wendy), and Martin Pfefferkorn (George/Father).
Performances take place June 13, 14, 20, 21, 26, 27 & 28 at 8:00pm; June 15, 22, & 28 at 2:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Nutley Little Theatre is located at 47 Erie Place in Nutley, New Jersey.
