Tony-award winning PETER AND THE STARCATCHER opens March 11 for a brief run at the Hennepin Theatre Trust's Orpheum Theatre. Actor Jimonn Cole warns that audiences should come expecting an innovative evening of storytelling.

Local author Ridley Pearson, along with Dave Barry, crafted an interesting 'prequel' to the story of Peter Pan with their entertaining novel PETER AND THE STARCATCHER. The stage production of this tale, written by Rick Elice, is a similarly imaginative effort that utilizes a relatively small cast, with just about everyone playing multiple roles, and a frenetic pace that captures the same qualities that distinguished the original work. An engaging touring production with a very talented cast played the Peabody Opera House this weekend (March 7-9, 2014), and it was well worth the trip.
