Based on the five-time Tony Award-winning play, Peter and the Starcatcher offers a fresh, imaginative prequel to J.M. Barrie’s classic Peter Pan, introducing audiences to the origins of beloved characters such as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, and Mrs. Darling. It weaves the backstory of how a despairing orphan became “The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up.”
Audiences will enjoy an exhilarating journey filled with marauding pirates, jungle tyrants, and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Peter [and the Starcatcher], in general, is based on imagination, fun and play,” says the director, Riley Newman. “The unique tactics we’re taking for the show is it’s being collaborative in terms of casting, very open, very rooted in childlike wonder.”
“In the winter, in time of darkness, if you need to come and lay your cares at the door and giggle, this is going to be the perfect show,” says Newman.
