Staged with inventive flair, Peter and the Starcatcher transforms the stage into a realm where “faith, and trust, and pixie dust” are palpable.

Echoing the spirit of J.M. Barrie’s masterpiece, the play weaves together clever wordplay, daring swashbuckling exploits, and dramatic storytelling to reveal the genesis of the Peter Pan legend.
For those enchanted by Wendy, Peter, and the magic of Neverland, Peter and the Starcatcher unveils the fascinating backstories of iconic figures, including the infamous Captain Hook, within the mystical world that precedes Peter Pan’s adventures.
