and more to take the stage in Spokane-area
Finding Neverland “musicalizes” the real-life backstory to the 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up by the Scottish author and playwright J.M. Barrie. The writer’s inspiration for his flying, perpetually childlike character — further popularized by a later novel and a Disney film — stems from his chance meeting with a widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, and her four sons in London’s Kensington Gardens. Barrie ultimately became a surrogate father to the boys and captured their imaginative adventures in kid-friendly works of fiction that speak just as much to adults about the bittersweetness of growing up. This opener to Lake City Playhouse’s 62nd season is based on the similarly named 2004 biopic, which itself was based on the 1998 play The Man Who Was Peter Pan. Lake City Playhouse, Thu-Sat (Oct. 3) at 7:30 pm; Sat (Sept. 26, Oct. 10) and Sun at 2 pm, $25, lakecityplayhouse.org (E.J. IANNELLI)
