The 2017 BCP Play-A-Part Fundraiser
A BCP audience favorite, the Play-A-Part Fundraisers separate themselves from The Playhouse's traditional productions in that all roles are "won" through an online silent auction with no required auditions! Veteran musical theater performers join first-timers to give this classic musical a comedic twist much like The Carol Burnett Show.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick Tinkerbell visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and with a sprinkle of pixie dust begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime the travelers come face to face with a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, and of course the villainous Captain Hook.
Please e-mail the director below to make arrangements to peruse a copy of the script or visit your local library.

Available Roles
PLEASE NOTE:
All roles (even those normally played by children) will be played by adults. The ages and sexes listed below describe the manner in which adults will play the roles. Due to the legality of the bidding process, no one under the age of 18 may bid on a role. Also, no one may bid on behalf of another person. Remember: The Play-A-Part Fundraiser gives adults the opportunity to play a role they never could normally play on stage in a regular production, and also gives first-time performers the opportunity to cross something off their 'bucket list.'
WENDY DARLING
Female, 13 to 16. The eldest Darling child. Wendy is compassionate, incredibly loving, and very protective of her younger brothers. She is the child every parent wishes they had.
JOHN DARLING
Male, 11 to 14. The middle Darling child. A sly smile is always at home on John's face. He has a mischievous twinkle in his eye and is always ready for an adventure.
MICHAEL DARLING
Male, 6 to 9. The youngest Darling child. Never far from his favorite Teddy, Michael is sweet and innocent. He is ever so lovable and very huggable.
MRS. DARLING
Female, 25 to 45. The Darling matriarch. Mrs. Darling glides about gently but swiftly from task to task with motherly precision. She has a pleasant strength to her demeanor. May double as Adult Wendy and a Pirate or Indian.
MR. DARLING
Male, 30 to 50. A bit of grouch, Mr. Darling is a professional who happens to be a father. Though sparkles of his love peak through from time to time, he often has places to go and people to see. This role is doubled by the same performer who plays Captain Hook.
PETER PAN
Male, 14. Normally played onstage by a female. Childhood and boyishness personified, Peter is athletic and not shy about taking to flight when the moment suits him. His reflexes are catlike and his presence exhilarating. A creature of constant motion.
CAPTAIN HOOK
Male, 30 to 50. The one-handed captain of the Jolly-Roger. Relentless and restless in his pursuit of Pan, Hook is short-fused and ridiculous. He is a larger than life villain. This role is doubled by the same performer who plays Mr. Darling.
TINKERBELL
Female, any age. A common, tinker fairy who is feisty and hot-tempered, but also quite cute. Though sometimes spoiled, jealous, vindictive and inquisitive, she is also helpful and kind to Peter.
SMEE
Male, 28 to 48. Captain Hook's knockabout lackey. An archetypical evil side-kick, Smee might be a bit rotund and is definitely dwarfed by Hook. Should be portrayed by an actor with physical comedy chops.
TIGER LILY
Female, 14 to 17. A striking Native American princess, Tiger Lily is a tough girl.
THE INDIANS
Male and Female, all ages.
THE LOST BOYS
- TOOTLES: The sweet one
- TWIN 1 & 2: 1st and 2nd Twin know little about themselves. They are not allowed to, because Peter does not know what twins are, and no Lost Boy is allowed to know anything that Peter doesn't.
- SLIGHTLY SOILED: The conceited one because he believes that he, unlike the others, remembers what life was like before he was "lost."
- NIBS: The cheerful one
- CURLY: Has curly hair, hence his name.
THE PIRATES OF THE JOLLY ROGER
- STARKEY
- CECCO
- NOODLER
- MULLINS
- JUKES
- COOKSON
NANA / THE CROCODILE
These non-speaking roles will be played by the same actor, who must be agile and able to express animal emotions with his or her body.
ADULT WENDY
Female, 25 to 45. Wendy Darling as an adult. May double as Mrs. Darling and a Pirate or Indian.
