Journey to Neverland with Peter and friends in ‘Neverland: Peter Returns’

Peter, Wendy, Tinker Bell, and the whole gang return to “Neverland: Peter Returns” at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater from Feb. 6 through Sept. 30.

The City Parks Foundation presents the original marionette play based on J.M. Barrie’s iconic Peter Pan tales. This version is a spin on the beloved children’s classic. Leaving their parents behind, the Darling children follow Peter Pan to Neverland for the adventure of a lifetime. When the cunning Captain Hook turns Peter’s pals Tiger Lily and Tinker Bell against him, the children team up with the Never Boys to save the day, learning the value of forgiveness and friendship.

“Neverland: Peter Returns” Tuesdays through Fridays, 10:30 am and 11:30 am; Saturdays and Sundays, 1 pm. Tickets are 12, and $8 for children. Reservations not required. Recommended for children 3 to 9 years old.
