Peter and the Starcatcher is a thrilling and imaginative prequel to Peter Pan, filled with adventure, humor, and heart. The play follows a nameless orphan boy who, along with his friends, is shipped off to a distant land as cargo.

When the sinister pirate Black Stache and his crew attempt to steal the treasure, the orphan boy and Molly must work together to keep it safe.
Through daring escapes, epic battles, and encounters with mermaids, island natives, and a giant crocodile, the orphan discovers his true potential and, ultimately, earns the name Peter Pan. The play explores themes of friendship, destiny, and the power of believing in something bigger than yourself. With its fast-paced storytelling, clever wordplay, and imaginative staging, Peter and the Starcatcher is a magical and hilarious journey that brings the origin of Neverland to life.
