Roles - Peter Pan Jr ROLES - PETER PAN JR. PETER PAN Peter Pan is the main character of Peter Pan JR. A boy without a care in the world. This role is for a child with a soaring can-do spirit who most certainly “won’t grow up!” WENDY Wendy is the eldest of the Darling children and has a certain maternal quality. Wendy is very bright, ever-practical and ready for an adventure! JOHN John is the middle Darling child and has an amicable and open presence. A little more proper than his younger brother. MICHAEL Michael is the youngest Darling boy and seems to have unlimited energy and is the most stubborn of the Darling children. NANA Nana is a dog. This performer should have a knack for physicality and be comfortable making bold acting choices. MRS. DARLING Mrs. Darling is the mother of Wendy, John and Michael, and she is the perfect picture of a mother. MR. DARLING Mr. Darling is the father of Wendy, John and Michael, and he is a man with one concern: keeping his house in order. LIZA Liza is the Darling’s housekeeper who always seems to be in a bit of a frenzy as she tries to keep everyone pleased. TIGER LILY Tiger Lily is the fearless leader of the Brave Girls. BRAVE GIRLS The Brave Girls, including Brave Girl #1, Brave Girl #2 and Small Brave Girl, are a group of Neverland inhabitants. They are a fun bunch of girls who are as strong as they are kind. LOST BOYS The Lost Boys, include Nibs, Slightly, Curley, Tootles, Twin #1 and Twin # 2, are a group of lads who live in Neverland without a care in the world. PIRATES The Pirates, including Noodler, Cecco, Jukes, and Starkey, are a gaggle of villains who are looking to cause some trouble. CAPTIAN HOOK Captain Hook, the leader of the Pirates, has a bone to pick… or rather a Peter Pan to hook! This young performer has great comedic timing. Though Captain Hook is the villain of the show, he’s also a bit of a clown who just can’t seem to get what he wants. SMEE Smee is Captain Hook’s sidekick who wants nothing more than to see Captain Hook succeed in his evil plotting. CROCODILE The Crocodile is a silent part for a young performer who can take a leap and become the wickedest beast that ever was. .

In this group image we see Barrie with four of the boys together with their hostess. In the back row: George Llewelyn Davies (age 18), the Duchess of Sutherland and Peter Llewelyn Davies (age 14).

After their mother's death, the five Llewelyn-Davies boys were alone. Who would take them in? Be a parent to them? Provide for their financial needs? Neither side of the family was really able to help. In 1976, Nico recalled the relief with which his uncles and aunts greeted Barrie's offer of assistance: ...none of them [the children's uncles and aunts] could really do anything approaching the amount that this little Scots wizard could do round the corner. He'd got more money than any of us and he's an awfully nice little man. He's a kind man. They all liked him a good deal. And he quite clearly had adored both my father and mother and was very fond of us boys.

In this tale, Wendy Darling and her brothers Michael and John join Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and The Lost Boys on an exciting adventure that highlights how important it is to always use our imaginations and that nothing is impossible if we believe in it.

The friends fly together with faith and a dash of pixie dust, while the Mermaids look on and a beautiful rainbow sits brightly in the sky. This painting reminds us that although we may grow up, we should view the world with the wonderment of a child, no matter our age. It also reinforces the fact that the bonds of a true friendship can lift us up throughout our lives. © Disney Key Points • The Disney film, Peter Pan, was based on a theatrical play of the same name by Sir James Barrie.
