Lost Girl
So excited to bring Wendy to life on stage….
You’re a child…then….you’re an adult….It’s black and white for adults, one time then another….but, there is so much life in between. Because of those feelings, that search for light and the things we experience in our in between ages are real, and they matter. Meet Wendy…..again. This isn’t the Wendy Darling you knew, she’s older….damaged…angry at her mom, her doctor and Peter (except for 8 minutes a day). The 8 minutes that stop her from moving on.
The dramatic / comedy story centers around Wendy's deeply emotional struggle to move on from the boy she first loved - the boy who told her to wait for him, that he'd come back, then never did. The process of letting go of a relationship, one way or another, is something we all can understand. Wendy is perfectly ok to be sad, giving herself just eight minutes each day to fixate on Peter. For Wendy, letting go of sadness means letting go of memories - memories that keep her first love alive. Several years after she leaves Neverland, Wendy decides that she must find Peter in order to reclaim her kiss and move on with her life. Along the way, Wendy meets other girls who went to Neverland and learns she is not alone in her journey.
Lost Girl reminds us that, as Peter says, "everything matters." The love, the loss, the way in which we grieve, and the time it takes to heal and grow. If you’re 16 or 60 you can't get back what you give, but you can keep giving.
