Long before the Darling children flew with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan to the magical Neverland, there was an apprentice Starcatcher named Molly, a nameless boy and his orphan friends, and a pirate named Black Stache with his crew. Follow them on their high seas adventure from perilous pirate pillaging to amazing adventures on a faraway island. Enjoy a mix of historical fact, the fictional world of Neverland, and modern pop culture references in this uniquely imaginative Play with music.
Under the direction of the Grand’s Executive Director, Nick Halder, the audience is introduced to a trio of orphans, a company of British Subjects, a band of Seafarers (both honorable and nefarious), and an assortment of Natives on Mollusk Island all played by a small band of actors who also narrate and portray sailors, pirates, mermaids, and mollusks. This troupe of players tell the fascinating, watery tale of how a nameless orphan became Peter Pan, how the dread pirate Black Stache became Captain Hook, and how Mollusk Island became Neverland. Without any over the top spectacle, Peter and the Starcatcher is a chance to allow your imagination to create your own ideal Neverland.
