Casting Talent for "Peter Pan" Show

Male-presenting. The infamous boy who never grew up and leader of countless Lost Boys. Peter is as reckless as he is earnest, as fearless as he is prideful, and dangerous as he is delightful. Charismatic to a fault and utterly whimsical, often to the detriment of others.

Female-presenting. A young girl who struggles to balance the practical natures of her father with the fanciful indulgence her mother displays. She desires more than anything to have a life that honors both sides of her personality and strives to grow up on her terms.

Somewhere ambiguously in their seasoned adulthood. Male-presenting. Seemingly a professor of some sort, the Narrator bookends and guides the story with the hope that someone somewhere thinks better of themselves having seen it. They portray the affable Smee, the right-hand of Peter, Slightly, as well as the Newfoundland nurse Nana and the fairy Tinker Bell. All of these additional characters are recognized by the Narrator as a means to further engage with the story.

Male-presenting. A most dastardly villain if ever there were one. James Hook is well-read, courteous when it suits him, despicable in an instant, and wholly believes himself to be the most evil and grand pirate of all time. Mr Darling on the other hand is a practical, no-nonsense father who cares a great deal about how the world perceives him and his family.

Female-presenting. Tiger Lily is Peter's oldest friend and boon companion. Tiger Lily represents the Neverlanders, the inhabitants of Neverland who arrived after the loss of their own land. She is diplomatic, shrewd, and perhaps a little bit prideful like Peter. She desires for her people to have peace, even if that means betrothal to unify Neverland. Mrs Darling is eager for her children to simply stay unburdened by the weariness of life. She is the epitome of nurturing and caring.

Male-presenting. Wendy's younger brother by just a year, John is quite studious and believes in fair play. His curiosity often gets the better of him, leading him to either put his foot in his mouth or wander into danger. Jukes is the galley mate aboard the Jolley Roger and is ever the yes-man to Captain Hook.

Male-presenting. The youngest of the Darlings and the most chaotic child in Bloomsbury. Michael follows the coattails of his older siblings religiously and is eager to voice his full-throated support for any idea they deem fine. Cecco, (pronounced Checko), is an Italian swashbuckler who is the hunting dog of Hook's pirate crew.

Male-presenting. The youngest of the Lost Boys and least experienced of the troop. He is perhaps the unluckiest of the Boys, unable to be present for any trick, joke, or adventure. He is quite aware of this, and revels in his melancholy. Skylights is the lookout aboard the Jolley Roger, and is eager to be the one to find Peter Pan, though his eyes don't work so well in his older age.

Male or female-presenting. Being all of one year older than Peter, Nibs has taken it upon himself to appear the most "grown-up" among the group. Nibs is well-dressed and would love nothing more than to be called a Lord. They are often the foil to Peter's plans, albeit in the hopes that Peter's plans always come true. The Croc's Head is perhaps the most expressive of the Crocodile's features, snapping and glaring menacingly.

Male or female-presenting. The Twins are one boy or girl who was told once by Peter that their right hand was actually their twin and promptly placed an old sock upon it. From then on, the sock was a Twin in its own right, with a voice all its own as well. The Twins are very disagreeable with themselves, but very agreeable with Peter. The Croc's Body is also perhaps the most expressive, though more inwardly so. Full of heart and breath.

Male or female-presenting. That one child that simply takes it too far. Curly is the first to agree with anything Peter says but does so almost always with a caveat creating a more destructive or rambunctious alternative. He is also almost always responsible for some misfortune or broken thing, The Croc's Tail is definitely the most expressive, wagging and swaggering and with all the pomp and circumstance a Crocodile should have.

Male-presenting. Starkey is the unfortunate scapegoat aboard the Jolley Roger. Not quite as lovable as Smee, Starkey is earnest in his piracy, but ultimately an illustration of the fates of all pirates in Neverland. Great Big Little Panther is Tiger Lily's father and the last of the Great Leaders of Neverland. He desires greatly for his daughter to marry and take over the duties of leadership, and hopes Peter could be that man.
