Peter and the StarCatcher
The Center for the Arts
Cyclone Theatre will open Peter and the Starcatcher on Thursday, October 27 at 7 pm. The show will run Oct 27th - 29th at 7 pm and Sunday, October 30th at 2 pm.
Ticket prices are $10 for Adults; $5 for Students. All RSD employees and students are allowed free admission to Cyclone Theatre Shows.
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 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.
