Last night, Joe and I attended our first play in Vokes Players 2026-7 season, For Peter Pan On Her 70th Birthday, by Sarah Ruhl. The play ran 90 minutes with no intermission, and it did meander and drag a bunch. But it had its fun surreal moments:
- The father of the 5 siblings (George) wandering in and out of the wake back at his apartment
- An uncredited, well behaved and huge black dog (Nana)
- sound bytes from the Peter Pan musical
Here are a couple pictures that Vokes posted on their Facebook page:
And here are the description of the play and cast list, from Vokes’ web site:
For Ann, playing Peter Pan at her hometown children’s theater is one of her fondest, most formative memories. Now, 50 years later, Neverland beckons again, casting Ann and her siblings back into the faraway dreamscape where their refusal to grow up confronts the inevitability of growing older.
