Photo Flash: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER Flies Into Walnut Street Theatre
Walnut Street Theatre continues its landmark 207th season with the Philadelphia premiere of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER. Directed by Bill Van Horn, this play with music began previews on March 15th, opens on March 23rd and runs through May 1st on the Walnut's Mainstage.
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER is a grownup's prequel to Peter Pan. When starcatcher-in-training Molly meets an orphan boy longing for a home, they embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Audiences will be whisked away on a breathtaking quest to answer the question: how did a boy named Peter become the boy who never grew up? PETER AND THE STARCATCHER takes a hilarious romp through the Neverland you never knew. In this Tony Award-winning play with music, a dozen brilliant actors play more than 100 unforgettable characters using their enormous talent, ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination. This swashbuckling production will have audience hooked from the moment they let their imagination take flight.
PETER AND THE STARCATCHER runs at the Walnut March 15 through May 1. Open captioning will be available for the 7pm performance on Sunday, April 10.
