Tony-winning 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 Pearsons 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 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, which contains 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 that 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. Cost: 13.00 to 20.00 Categories: Performing Arts This event
