Live From Never Never Land

August 01, 2007

Last night, lucky audience members were treated to a one-night-only performance of The 826NYC Players. Under the direction of volunteers Chris Timmins and Brian Donnelly, the troupe introduced two new sketches. Law and Disorder offers a glimpse into the criminal trial of a doctor who has misused a bootlegged time machine. Live From Never Never Land (pictured) follows a television news reporter as he interviews eyewitnesses about a showdown between Peter Pan and Captain Hook.

Check out the students' sketches in our writing gallery.
