PETER AND THE STARCATCHER to Play Mary Moody Northen Theatre Next Week

Peter and the Starcatcher by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker will play the Mary Moody Northen Theatre at St. Edward's University, Feb. 14 - 18, 2024. Directed by Ben Wolfe, the Tony Award-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. the legendary Peter Pan). This theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's best-selling novels, Peter and the Starcatcher is a wildly imaginative production, featuring ingenious stagecraft, music, and an ensemble of 16 actors portraying over 100 characters. The story playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.
 
The cast features guest Equity artists Maclain Dassatti as Black Stache and Tobie Minor as Lord Aster alongside students from the St. Edward's Department of Performing Arts.

The complete company includes St. Edward's students Erick Aguilar, Luis Arellano, Juan Diego Chaparro, Tyler Donovan, Isadora Duval, Kiley Gaddis, Claire Lane, Ivan Masterson, Christian Meaux, Kelly Moncla, Wilson Pilibosian, Marcelo Rivera, Annika Roberts, Vivienne Verges, Che Greeno, and Tori Petrosino.

The creative team includes Ben Wolfe (Director), Dr. Ellie Jarrett Shattles (Music Director), AnnDee Alvidrez (Scenic Design), Leilah Stewart (Properties Design), Erin Earle Fleming (Lighting Design), Louie Espinoza (Sound Design), Cassidy Barber (Costume Design), Tara Cooper (Hair and Makeup Design) and Robert Tolaro (Production Stage Manager).
