Are You a Pirate or a Lost Boy?

In this outrageously queer, adults-only British-style Panto, NYC Panto reimagines Peter Pan with a Frank-N-Furter-esque Captain Hook, a foul-mouthed Tinker Bell, drag queen Lady Chicken Cutlets, and a Neverland where growing up is optional and absolutely nothing is safe from satire.

Pop parodies, audience participation, slapstick mayhem, and brand-new original music fuel a wildly irreverent theatrical romp where fairy tales, politics, and the zeitgeist collide.

Bold and bawdy, pantomime, or Panto, has been a holiday tradition in Great Britain since 1717. With roots in Commedia dell'arte, the genre takes classic fairy tales and gives them a broad and comedic twist. While pantos are traditionally considered family-friendly entertainment, Peter Panto is strictly for grown-ups.

Because sometimes the best way to make sense of the world is to laugh at it.

The world's on fire. Come laugh with us anyway.

NYC Panto is also partnering this season with beloved West Village British institution Tea &

Sympathy and global education nonprofit United World Schools USA (UWS USA), bringing

another cherished element of traditional British Panto, its spirit of community and giving, to the

Lower East Side. Tea & Sympathy will bring a little taste of Christmas back home to Parkside

Lounge, selling classic British treats throughout the run, with a portion of proceeds supporting

UWS USA’s work to ensure children in remote and underserved communities have access to

quality education and the opportunity to write their own stories.

Because every Wendy deserves the chance to write her own story.
