SENIOR CAST (GRADES 7 - 12)
After returning from Neverland, Wendy Darling is faced with the earth-shattering yet incredibly common task of growing up and moving on from a first love nobody else quite understands. As she explores what it means to reclaim what she lost to the boy who promised to come back, she encounters other girls who also came and went from Neverland, and grapples with memories that become less and less reliable. What unfolds is a beautifully haunting coming-of-age story of what happens when the whirlwind fairytale that was supposed to last forever eventually comes to a quiet and ordinary end.
