Wilson Drama presents Peter and the Starcatcher March 13 and 14
|
|
A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, Tony-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.

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.
