(HADDONFIELD, NJ) -- Haddonfield Plays & Players presents Finding Neverland weekends from December 4-19, 2026. Based on the Academy Award-winning motion picture and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan, the play follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up."
J.M. Barrie, a struggling playwright, encounters a widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four sons in Kensington Park. As Barrie befriends the family, he is inspired by their adventures, particularly Peter, who is reluctant to play due to his grief.
Barrie helps him to learn to play again and becomes inspired to create a new art form: children's theatre. But who will pay to see a play about children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly?
Performances take place Friday, December 4 at 8:00pm; Saturday, December 5 at 8:00pm; Sunday, December 6 at 3:00pm; Thursday, December 10 at 8:00pm; Friday, December 11 at 8:00pm; Saturday, December 12 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, December 13 at 3:00pm. Thursday, December 17 at 8:00pm; Friday, December 18 at 8:00pm; and Saturday, December 19 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm.
Tickets are available for purchase online. The theater is located at 957 E Atlantic Avenue in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
The production is Directed and Choreographed by Brian Rivell with Music Direction by Michael Doheny. The Stage Manager is Tilly Lubrant and Artistic Director is Al Fuchs.
Finding Neverland features music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy and a book by James Graham.
