The Lost Boy

The Lost Boy is a stage musical about the life of J.M. Barrie, written and first produced by Ron Paolillo (better known as "Ron Palillo", the actor who played Arnold Horshack on the hit 1970s TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter). Paolillo developed the play over the course of several years, including a production by the Helen Hayes Theater Company of Nyack NY in October 2005, which received a positive review, and continued for several performances at Queens Theatre in the Park in the NYC borough in November. It was staged again in 2010 in West Hartford CT, where Paolillo (who died in 2012) lived and taught drama at the University of Connecticut.
