Weathervane Theatre to Present PETER PAN GOES WRONG

WHITEFIELD, NH—Producing Artistic Director Ethan Paulini and New Hampshire’s award-winning Weathervane Theatre are pleased to present the magical comedy disaster PETER PAN GOES WRONG.

The makers of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG bring comic chaos to PETER PAN as the Cornley Drama Society battles blunders, flying mishaps, and cast clashes.

.It’s an awfully big adventure as the much-loved, yet inept, members of The Cornley Drama Society once again battle against technical hitches, flying mishaps, and cast disputes on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results.

PETER PAN GOES WRONG is directed by Nathaniel P. Claridad, who returns to the Weathervane after assistant directing Broadway’s Tony-winning revival of RAGTIME. Returning for his sixth season, Claridad’s previous Weathervane credits include ROMEO AND JULIET, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, A CLASS ACT, and BUYER AND CELLAR.

The cast of PETER PAN GOES WRONG features Becca Ayers (Francis Beaumont), Dani Barrett (Jill), Jacob A. Butler (Max Bennett), Max DeSantis (Jonathan), Jorge Donoso (Dennis), Marisa Kirby (Annie Twilloil), Margaux Marak (Chris Bean), Jewell Noel (Sandra Wilkinson), Ethan Paulini (Robert Grove), Carrie Wagner (Lucy Grove) and Lew Whitener (Trevor Watson).

Controlling the chaos of PETER PAN GOES WRONG are the show’s set designers Jeremy Baldauf and Rien Schlecht.

“PETER PAN GOES WRONG is a more challenging build than previous Weathervane productions,” said Baldauf and Schlecht. “In this production, the set is a character in the show, which is very exciting. We never want to replicate what’s been done before, so we are always thinking outside the box. I think our audiences will be tickled by what we have in store.”

In addition to design by Baldauf and Schelcht, PETER PAN GOES WRONG features design by Cass Burgess (properties), Ashley Harkey (sound), Claire Morgan (costume), and Chris Payne (lighting). Additional creative team: Noah Huseman (music consultant), Sam Powers (production stage manager), Reed Davis, Egypt Dixon, Rien Schlecht, Hannah Showalter, Aasrith Veerapaneni (assistant stage management), Seth Bowen and Kaitlyn Lied (technical direction), Christa LeBlanc (scenic charge), and Jeremy Baldauf (production management).
