Additional Lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Lakewood Little Theatre, Beck Center for the Cultural Arts 1987
Anne Marie Prunty as "Wendy" and Keith Gerchak as "Peter Pan"
“From flying and pirates' antics to make children squeal to fine acting, singing and dancing to delight adults, this production directed by Fred Sternfeld makes it easy for anyone to enjoy this fairy tale.”
Margaret Sabol, Elyria Chronicle-Telegram 1987
Keith Gerchak as "Peter Pan"
"A delightful production"
"Gerchak, as Peter Pan, is one of those young performers who leaves adult audiences mumbling, 'The kid's a real natural....'"
"Under Sternfeld's direction, this teenager's native ability becomes apparent....Gerchak engages the audience with his puckish innocence"
"Mitchell Fields, a familiar name to local theatre-goers for 31 years, flawlessly plays the roles of Mr. Darling and Captain Hook"
Caren Goldman, Cleveland Jewish News, 1987
