Eagle Theatre is set to open a grown-up's prequel to Peter Pan, PETER & THE STARCATCHER on May 12th, 2017. Newly installed theme park style stage seating will afford select audiences the opportunity to sail through the Neverland they never knew, as a dozen performers portray more than 100 outlandish characters using the limitless possibilities of imagination.

PETER & THE STARCATCHER is the Tony Award winning musical-play that follows a starcatcher-in-training, as she meets an orphan boy longing for a home. Together they embark on the journey of a lifetime. Meet a young Peter Pan, the original lost boys, Captain Hook before the hook, and a cast full of all-stars, as they create a swashbuckling production that will enchant, energize, and excite audiences of all ages. Co-Artistic Director Ted Wioncek III states "This unique adventure deserved a twist. We are excited for our audience to experience an immersive environment that will allow them not only to explore Neverland, but call it home, if only for a little while." Cast and Artistic Team interviews are available upon request.
