I can understand what it means to be an actor. I can be an actor in a classroom exercise. I can understand how the plot and characters of a play are based on or similar to a book. I can understand how to be a good audience member for a theatre performance. I can ask appropriate questions about a play and listen for the answers.
A wildly theatrical, hilarious and innovative retelling of how a miserable orphan came to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER upends the century-old legend of Peter Pan. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship duty and love. Winner of 5 Tony Awards, a dozen brilliant actors play more than 100 unforgettable characters using their enormous talent, ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination.
160 tickets are available for each performance.
Students need to attend the production with an appropriate number of chaperones, as determined by the school and the teacher. There is often an opportunity for a select number of caregivers to attend a production as a chaperone.
