The Lost Boy

2/7/2025

Audiences took a flight to Neverland at the Upper School production of The Lost Boy in February. This play by Ronald Gabriel Paolillo imagines the creation of Neverland and the Peter Pan myth.

It follows Peter's creator, James M. Barrie, as he returns to his hometown in Scotland to visit his mother, who still blames him for the long-ago death of his older brother in a skating pond. Despite finding success and fame as a writer, Barrie is dissatisfied with his work and his life. Haunted by the tragic accident and his mother's harsh words, James slowly begins to confront his family's past with the help of an unexpected friendship and his own gift for storytelling. This fictionalized account of the birth of Peter Pan will warm the hearts of audiences everywhere who remember the magic and mystery of The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up.

Congratulations to Mr. Will Sanborn '07 on his second production since returning to US as the Theater Arts Director and Drama Teacher and to Mr. Thomas Wickboldt, Technical Theater Director; the technical light, sound, and stage crew; and the students of the Technical Theater class who helped conceive and design the set.

Bravo to the entire crew and the cast!
