“English Only.” Four adult students in Karaj, Iran are studying for the Test of English as a Foreign Language—the key to their green card, medical school admission or family reunification. Chasing fluency through a maze of word games, listening exercises and show-and-tell sessions, they hope that one day, English will make them whole. But it might be splitting them each in half.

With all the magic and adventure of the original story, this adaptation charms with a fresh take on what it means to dream, to grow, and to be a part of a community.

Bold, budding scientist Wendy Darling dreams of earning a Nobel Prize. When Peter Pan arrives at her bedroom window, she takes a leap and leaves finishing school behind, chasing adventure among the stars. Facing down fairies, mermaids, and the dastardly Captain Hook, Wendy, Peter, Tiger Lily and their friends discover the power of standing up together for what’s right. Full of magic, adventure – and yes, flying! – J.M. Barrie’s classic Peter Pan is reimagined for a new generation of theatregoers as a bright, charming, anti-colonial, and empowering play for all ages.
