Not having had the opportunity to attend one, I'd wonder how representative the audience for the stage productions is of the projected movie audience; I'd suspect that it probably consists of a high percentage of people coming to the play from the books, rather than coming in cold, so to speak.

As far as moving the start date closer to WW II, any start date before 1936 would allow one to fit in all the "real" stories before the outbreak of the war. The outbreak of war would certainly force the action of the year of CC, PP, WD, SW, BS to be no later than 1939, while PM could be done as an early (1940) wartime story without too much disruption to the storyline. GN could easily be presented as a post-war reunion, which would eliminate the school-days/nesting season date conflict. It would also offer additional basis for the Pterodactyl sailor's chatting up an older Susan and Peggy.
