Finding Jo March
by Laramie Dean
You should know right away that this is not a traditional adaptation of Little Women.
A young writer dives into the world of Louisa May Alcott’s most famous novel in order to bring the story to life (with a little help from their friends). Suddenly the March sisters are back, and the writer is one of them… Jo! But as the lives and loves of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy unfold, the present constantly threatens to pull the writer back into reality where a tragedy they have yet to deal with waits.
It’s about telling someone else’s story so you can find your own.

Peter Pan and Neverland
Is it a story, a figment of Wendy’ imagination or a real place?
Gwendolyn is a young schoolgirl in Edwardian London, plagued by recurring dreams of an imaginary place and time, not of this earth. Despite her best efforts to control her dreams, they are becoming more real and frequent than ever. But when she wakes up, she cannot remember anything at all, other than a fear of falling. When she sleepwalks and almost falls to her death, her school decides to send her home again. Once home she is sent to a specialist doctor for treatment to try to cure of her mysterious illness that is causing her nightmares.
But it seems that the imaginary place is very real indeed. Gwendolyn is “Wendy” and she dreams of a very real Neverland. Peter Pan has left Neverland to try and find her, risking the lives of all the people who live there, including the infamous Captain Hook. For Neverland cannot survive without Peter Pan. Hook, desperate to save Neverland, and of course himself, has followed Peter back to our world to find Wendy and to make her forget once and for all.
“Forgotten” is an exploration of J.M. Barrie’s classic children’s story, “Peter Pan” and poses the question of whether it was simply a story, a figment of Wendy’s imagination or a real place. In the 21st century we are accustomed to the concepts of time travel and alternate universes. This fantasy play cleverly switches between the alternate Earths in the story.
Steamer No.10 Theatre’s CAST program – Creative Arts at Steamer Ten – is producing this exploration of what might happen in Neverland after Wendy leaves.
