Synopsis
Everyone thinks they know Peter Pan. But until you have heard Tinker Bell’s side of the story, you really have not heard it at all. When all the fairies in Neverland start dying, Tinker Bell comes to London to find a friend. There she meets a young boy named Peter Pan who has just run away from his family so he can be a little boy forever and have fun. When Tink takes Peter to Neverland, all sorts of wonderful and amazing things happen: flowers grow, animals appear and pirates arrive. But as Peter brings more Lost Boys and the Darling children back to her island, Tink finds she doesn’t like sharing her friend with anyone else. Especially that Wendy girl. This fresh and intensely theatrical adaptation of the classic story emphasizes play and fun as well as the complicated nature of friendship. A new, twinkling light shines on all the characters you love as J.M. Barrie’s story is reborn from this feisty fairy’s point of view. Tinkerbell.

Customer Reviews
- "The writing is delicious and full of wonderful humor. "
- Review by Jamie Sciarrio, Southside Christian School, Spokane, Wash.

Hints, Tips, and Tricks
- "Help your actors to learn to slow down their line delivery so that the audience can enjoy the words AND to hold for laughs."
- Tip by Jamie Sciarrio, Southside Christian School, Spokane, Wash.
- "We cast it with actors as flowers/pirates/lost boys and puppeteers. This allowed us to use more of our middle school cast. We also used Heely's to help show that we were flying. The audience enjoyed that. We truly loved this show and everything about it."
- Tip by Kendra Butler, Shawnee MS, Shawnee, Okla.
- "Our space and setup were limited so we had a bare stage with two large crates to stand and sit on along with a backdrop and lots of props to help the audience imagine. We tried plastic swords but several broke so we decided to go with foam swords which worked much better."
- Tip by Jessica MacQuarrie, Greenville Classical Academy, Taylors, S.C.
- "This play lent itself well to the zoom style performance. It was easily accessible and able to be performed well by young actors."
- Tip by Beverly Houck, Yocum Institute for Arts Education, West Lawn, Pa.
