Neverland Reviews
Chicago Reader- Recommended
"...Though it takes a while to get going, this new take, devised by the Prop Thtr ensemble and directed by Olivia Lilley, managed to win this skeptic over by turning a well-worn story on its head and giving it a ripped-from-the-headlines urgency. Pan is an arrogant man-child who punishes anyone who dares to question his motives, Wendy is a manipulative teenage delinquent, and Hook is a heartbroken and bitter woman who's just looking for a little love and understanding."

"...“Neverland” definitely asks a lot of its audience, but also rewards the viewers with a delightful cast of characters and theatrical elements. If you want to see Peter Pan from a new angle, this is the show for you."
Chicago Theatre Review- Recommended
"...In this production, we're treated to another of Prop Thtr's typically inventive productions. In addition to offering a fresh examination of great literature, this is a company that, as its name implies, makes strong, creative choices involving the use of properties. It also brilliantly incorporates sound and light in a magical, memorable way that stands out from every other theatre company. Yes, the story is a little confusing, and its plot does converge and get tangled; but the overall experience for the theatergoer is strong, thrilling and thought-provoking."
