Have you ever wondered what life was like for Peter Pan before he actually was Peter Pan? How the Lost Boys, Tinkerbell, and Neverland came to be? How Captain Hook lost his hand? Your questions are bound to be answered in the tale of Peter and the Starcatcher; directed by Gillian Eaton, assistant directed by Martin McGuire, and musically directed by Brian E. Buckner, James Fischer, and Riley Palmer.
This lighthearted show swept the audience off their feet and into the adventure-filled life of Molly (Kourtney Bell), a young girl who is on a secret mission with her father (David Newman) to destroy what is called “starstuff”. On Molly’s ship, The Never Land, she comes across three orphans, one of which is unnamed (Brooks Inciardi), and immediately befriends them. Pirates, island natives, a crocodile, and mayhem are all prevelant throughout the journey. The story of Peter Pan magically unfolds before your eyes in this easy-to-love show.
Shows run in the Power Center on December 8 @ 7:30pm, December 9 & 10 @ 8:00pm, and December 11 @ 2:00pm. Reserved seating is $22 and $28, and students $12 with an ID.
