Odds bobs hammers and tongs! Tony-nominated Peter and the Starcatcher 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). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers and written by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker. 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.
A young orphan (Wesley Gilbert) and his mates (Emma Braswell and Abbey Jenkins) are shipped off by the evil orphanage master Grempkin (Fred Lutz) from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in Lord Leonard Aster’s (Jayden Bradshaw) cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly (Juniper Salsman), a Starcatcher-in-training, who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands, like the dreadful Pirate Slank (Braden Haley) or his Enforcer (Abigail Harrison). When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache (Griffin Motley), a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own (aided by Smee—Isaak Farmer—of course) – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. With a crew of dastardly pirates (Savannah Mount, Liberty Simon), sailors who turn into Mollusks (Peyton Le, Susannah Boren, Bailey Kolb, Finley Bailey, Lena Harris), a gassy pirate (Landyn Gilbert) and his lady-love (Rachel Hayes), and mermaids who used to be fish (Hayleigh Rodery), this is going to be an awfully big adventure!
