Peter and the Starcatcher at County Players Falls Theatre

County Players Present Tony Award-Winning "Peter and the Starcatcher” - November 6 to 21

In this whimsical musical adventure, a grown up prequel to Peter Pan, this Tony Award®–winning adventure reimagines the Neverland you never knew. Peter and the Starcatcher transforms the classic tale with a wildly inventive origin story of how a nameless orphan became The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. An ensemble cast conjures more than a hundred characters through ingenious stagecraft and boundless imagination. With music, mermaids, stardust treasure, a spirited heroine, unruly pirates, and a wickedly absurd Captain, Peter and the Starcatcher takes flight. Pirates included. Plenty of them.
