Journey Theater will hold five performances of Peter/Wendy, based on J.M. Barrie’s original work, with opening night set for Friday, May 9

It is a famous story, but this version has differences from a more famous brand.

Journey Theater is proud to present Peter/Wendy, with opening night set for May 9.

Peter/Wendy is based on J.M. Barrie’s original Peter and Wendy and The Little White Bird rather than the Disney version of Peter Pan.

This lyrical, interactive interpretation strips the familiar story down to its emotional essence. The story focuses on Wendy Darling as Peter lures her away from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland, where she joins his adventures with Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, and the menacing Captain Hook.

An inventive adaptation that explores the often bittersweet experience of growing up and leaving childhood behind us, Peter/Wendy will mesmerize audiences of all ages. 

This production will be held at Manor Evangelical Church, 17913 NE 72nd Ave., in Battle Ground. Opening night is Friday, May 9 at 7 p.m. There will be two shows the following day, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday May 10. The show returns the next Friday, with a 7 p.m. performance on May 16. And then again with the finale at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 16.

Tickets purchased online are $16 for adults, $13 for youth and senior citizens. Tickets are $2 more at the door.
