One Audition, Two Opportunities

One audition opens the door to two productions: Winter Shorts 2026, presented by the Student Drama Association, and The Lost Girl, directed by Rachel Blackwell for the Department of Theatre and Film. Performers may be considered for either or both productions.

LOST GIRL written by Kimberly Belflower. Directed by Rachel Blackwell.

What became of Wendy Darling in the years following her adventures with Peter Pan? Lost Girl is a story of love, loss, and the bittersweet journey of growing up. After leaving Neverland behind, Wendy Darling returns to a world that no longer feels quite like home. As she struggles to find her place in adulthood, she must confront the memories, relationships, and choices that have shaped her before she can embrace what comes next.

A heartfelt reimagining of the beloved Peter Pan story, Lost Girl explores the courage it takes to let go of childhood, the grief that comes with change, and the hope that comes with embracing the future.
