Peter and the Starcatcher

Peter square with title and web

Sept 16 – Oct 1, 2016

A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captains cabin, containing a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly,  a Starcatcher-in-training, who realizes that the trunks precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates  led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own  the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher, a wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearsons best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.
