Peter Pan: A Pantomime - December 2011

Peter Pan: A Pantomime > > > December 14 - 18, 2011

A new adaptation by Erin Millar
Based on the works of J.M. Barrie

“All children, except one, grow up.” So begins a beloved tale about a boy who can fly and his grand adventures. This December, join us on a journey filled with imagination and swashbuckling shenanigans! Morpheus Theatre is proud to present this season’s panto – oh yes it is!! – Peter Pan. Come away with us to Neverland, where we will delight in Peter’s mischief and games, where we can imagine wonders with the Lost Boys, where we can help the hungry crocodile find Captain Hook; where we can all be children again, for a little while. Do you believe in fairies?

ROLES
Star: (F) our Narrator and guide to Neverland. Star is energetic, fun-loving and passionate. She loves a good story and playing with the audience.
Lola: (M) (30-40s) our Dame…also, The infamous tick-tocking Crocodile. Lola is fierce, with a one track mind – James Hook will be hers, wholly, completely and without a doubt. For dinner, or happily ever after – she’s on a mission.

The Goodies
Wendy Darling: (F) the eldest of the Darling children, Wendy is sweet and caring.
John Darling: (M) the middle child, John is a logical young man who is never without his hat.
Michael Darling: (M) the youngest child, Michael is still discovering all the fun to be found in the simplest things.
George Darling: (M) George is a good Father and a kind hearted man, though he tends to bluster about rather dramatically – this role will likely be double cast.
Mary Darling: (F) Mary is a kind and loving Mother who is head over heels for her children – this role will likely be double cast.
Peter Pan: (F) the one child who has never grown up, Peter is cocky, fun-loving, daring and brave. If you are interested in auditioning for Peter, be warned – you will be asked to crow and sword fight.
Tinker Bell: (F) Tinker Bell is a silent part, though she will participate in at least one group number and dances a fair bit. She is petulant and feisty, and rather adorable in her own cranky way.

The Lost Boys
Tootles: (M) Tootles is a boy with simple tastes. He loves hearing stories and eating when he’s hungry. He is one of Peter’s loyal troops.
Slightly: (M) A somewhat jumpy young man, enjoys poking at or trying to best Nibs. Another proud and loyal member of the crew.
Nibs: (M) An enthusiastic, fun-loving boy who enjoys all kinds of songs and games.

The Baddies
Captain Hook: (M) James Hook is two parts evil villain, one part gentleman and scholar and one part misunderstood philosopher pirate. He is mean and ruthless, and dead set on having his revenge on Peter Pan. This role also involves sword fighting.
Smee: (M) Strangely loveable Smee, he is Hook’s bosun and a budding tailor. He’s not a very good pirate, or a very good sailor, but he is very loyal to Hook and wants his Captain to be happy.
Starkey: (M) One half of our Comic duo. Starkey would probably be considered the leader of the two, though he’s not much smarter than Skylights. They have become part of the pirate crew, but are balladeers by profession, hoping they can be of some use and not have to walk the plank.
Skylights: (M) the other half of our Comic duo. Skylights has a softer side to him and is prone to mild panic attacks if he gets upset. He knows that he’s not cut out for the pirate’s life and desperately wishes to avoid swimming with the fishes.

Chorus of 5-7: (M/F)will play roles such as Nana, mermaids, Never birds, fairies, etc.

Performances are December 14 - 18, 2011 at the Pumphouse Theatre
