Peter and the Starcatcher at Maui OnStage

Jett Batoon - is very excited to share the stage with such talented friends. Past productions include: Les Miserable, The Dixie Swim Club, and Don’t Dress For Dinner. This is her first play with Maui OnStage.

Shane Borge - has been thankful to be part of the Maui theatre community for the past 15 years. From starting off as a small hobby, to slowly becoming a large part of his life, Shane has had many opportunities to be on stage across this island. You’ll most likely recognize him from shows like Other Desert Cities, Out of Order (ProArts), The Boys Next Door, The Rocky Horror Show, and Something Rotten! (Maui OnStage), or Cages or Wings and The Lion in Winter (MAPA). When not performing, Shane is a coordinator for eDesign Group. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for Maui OnStage. Big thanks to you, the reader, for coming out and supporting theatre on Maui!

Dale Button - is excited to bring this Peter Pan prequel to life. Playing the villain is always fun, but this show is taking "fun" to the next level! Many thanks to Kristi Scott for the leeway to do some outrageous things, to Sara Jelley for her trust in me vocally, Tina Kailiponi for her ability to make things clear in a succinct manner (and herd cats like the best of them), and an amazing cast and crew who made this all possible! "One for all and all for me!”...Black Stache

Secoya Canela - This is “Giant” Secoya’s first big role in years after doing backstage and lighting work in multiple productions in Northern California. Secoya’s hobbies include skateboarding, learning languages, and rooting for SF Bay area sports teams.

Elisha Cullins - is so thrilled to be returning to the Iao Theater stage in this large ensemble show in what’s seemed like years! But this time, embodying the darkest, dankest, stinkiest, slankiest character he could find. Elisha was actually asked to leave the theater multiple times throughout the rehearsal process due to his foul mood, appearance, behavior, and hygiene. For people who know Elisha outside of the theater, it’ll be just like watching him in his normal day-to-day life. TTFN.

Edrianne Daguio - My name is Edrianne, and I have ~3 years of theatre experience in Baldwin Theatre Guild as both extras and leads. I was last seen in She Kills Monsters at the Iao Theater.

Rocco Dahl - caught the bug 6 years ago in Theatre Theatre Maui’s production of Oliver. He was only 9 and said to his mom after the first day, “I found my people”. Rocco hasn’t stopped since! He has performed with TTM, ProArts, Maui OnStage, and MAPA in Legally Blonde Jr, Matilda Jr, Newsies Jr, Aladdin Jr, Charlotte’s Web, The Ants and the Grasshoppers, Wizard of Oz Deleted Scenes, Raise Your Voice, and most recently The Lion in Winter.

However, this is Finch’s first foray into feline foolery.

I loved being part of it, and still enjoy acting to this day. I was able to be in Homeschool the Musical, Matilda, and Newsies!

David Negaard - is, in keeping with his character's name, ready to shine with a constellation of other stars ("aster," from Latin aster "star," from Greek aster “star").

Previous appearances on the Maui stage include Don't Dress for Dinner, Rumors, Out of Order, Clue, The Rocky Horror Show, and Something Rotten.
