Peter and the Starcatcher by Rick Elice

Directed by Jane Purse-Wiedenhoeft
A Play with Music
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century old story of how a dejected 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. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed, despair and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters. The set for the play will be created from found and recycled objects so this improvisational treat supports the University’s sustainability practices.
