"Pee-wee dreams that one day he can fly," according to press notes. "The play follows Pee-wee's quest to see this lifelong wish fulfilled. Pee-wee is torn when he has to choose to have his wish granted or better the lives of his friends. Along the way he embarks on hilarious adventures filled with his playhouse friends and some new ones. Throw in some funny pop culture references, and of course, your favorite Pee-wee-isms."

The production features scenic design by David Korins with original music by Jay Cotton.
