WHY
IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
Written
especially for young people to perform.
While you may find large cast
plays from other publishers, most of those were originally written
for adults or
professional actors to
perform. They often contain difficult dialogue, unfamiliar or
complex language, and speeches too long for young children to
memorize. They may even contain jokes, innuendos and subject matter
that may not be appropriate for children.
Easy to
understand and memorize.
Dialogue is simple, fresh, quick
and humorous, keeping the action flowing without stops and starts
between scenes. This keeps young people and young audiences engaged
throughout the performance - no awkward pauses, no dead-time, no wiggles!
Everyone participates!
All children are involved
throughout the performance. This builds confidence, promotes team
spirit and eliminates rehearsal rowdiness. The audience is often
asked to join in the fun, and action often spills into the aisles!
All of our SCHOOL PLAYS give suggestions on how to divide up large
parts (such as Peter
Pan) among
several performers so that no one child is the "star".
Familiar
stories with upbeat endings.
The story line stays as close as
possible to the familiar story the kids already know. While
some authors feel the need to "improve" the story, our
SCHOOL PLAYS stay as close to the familiar narrative as possible,
making it easier for children - and your audience - to understand.
Feel free
to edit! Go ahead and tape it!
Most publishers insist that no
changes may be made to their scripts. We know that your
goal is to engage every child in the most meaningful way and that
your needs are unique. Cut, eliminate, re-assign lines, or add
as much as you like! Also, there are no restrictions on video
tapes. Parents want a tape or DVD to remember their child's big
moment. Go ahead and tape away!

Kathryn Schultz Miller
is one the most prolific and most produced playwrights for
children. Her script, A THOUSAND CRANES, won the National
Endowment for the Arts Playwright Award (and countless others) at a
time when plays for children were not considered serious works. Now,
many of her published scripts are considered classics for young
audiences. When teachers voiced their need for great plays that
kids can perform Ms. Miller responded with ArtReachs School
Plays: I never dreamed Id write for anyone other
than professionals. But writing for child performers has been
the most profound and rewarding experience of my life. |

A NOTE
FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT
In the
past few years we've seen a
tremendous increase of confidence in the teachers we hear from.
Most are finding it easier to let the process flow and worry less
about the final product. I firmly believe that the experience
will be best for all when you keep a few things in mind:
Free
yourself from worry about whether
or not it's "good". No one is paying big ticket
prices; no one expects a Broadway success. The key to making
this project meaningful is to put the emphasis on process; realize
that rehearsal and practice are as much a part of the experience as
the actual performance. Encourage fun and you will free the
children from embarrassment and stress. If the kids can't learn
the lines let them carry a script or use their own words to convey
the character's message. If they seem to wander the stage, let
them explore where they want to go - they might surprise you with a
wonderful idea. In every aspect of the process give them the
wings to create and think. Give them a comfortable, supportive
place to go and their confidence and self-expression will soar!
Above
all else, make sure you are
having fun. If you've never directed a play before, don't
worry. It's all just pretend -- you can't do it wrong!
The quality of your experience is every bit as important as that of
the children. You need the joy of self-expression too, that
doesn't go away when we grow up. So give yourself a break.
And when all else fails, laugh!
Thank you
so much for choosing Peter Pan. I hope you and your young
friends have as much fun performing this play as I did writing it.

SCRIPT SAMPLE
The story is
just as you remember it... Here Peter prepares to take the children
to Neverland.
(Script
pages 11-13) |
PETER: I'd never let any one tell me
to grow up.
WENDY: Mother says there's nothing I
can do about it.
PETER: Of course there is!
JOHN: What is it, Peter?
PETER: You can come with me to Neverland!
MICHAEL: Neverland? That sounds exciting!
PETER: Tell me what you like more
than anything else on earth!
MICHAEL: Indians!
JOHN: Pirates!
WENDY: Mermaids!
PETER: We have all of those on the
Neverland Island. And also there are lost boys.
WENDY: Lost boys? Why are they lost?
PETER: Because they don't have a
mother. Hey! You could be our mother!
WENDY: That's silly. I'm just a girl.
TINKER BELL: (Agrees with WENDY.
Kazoo: That's right she can't come.)
PETER: You'd make a great
mother! We'd all be so happy to have you there. And in
Neverland you never grow up!
JOHN: Can we go Wendy?
MICHAEL: Oh, please, please, please
can we go?
WENDY: Well, all right. But how do we
get there?
PETER: We fly, of course.
WENDY: Fly? Oh, but we can't fly!
JOHN: Sounds dangerous.
TINKER BELL: (Agrees. Kazoo:
That's right they can't fly. It's very dangerous.)
PETER: Then I'll teach you!
WENDY: Aren't you forgetting
something, Peter?
(SHE lifts cover and lets PETER'S SHADOW out.)
PETER: Of course! I can't fly
without my shadow!
(PETER goes to SHADOW. SHADOW stands
behind PETER and "mirror's" his movements. PETER puts
his hands on his hips, SHADOW does the same. PETER lifts his
cap and scratches the top of his head, SHADOW does the same.
PETER takes big steps across the playing area, SHADOW follows.
Suddenly PETER turns and grabs SHADOW, who squiggles trying to get lose.)
Hurry, Wendy. Sew it on before it gets away.
