Kevin Del Aguila has one of those careers that feels impossible on paper but makes perfect sense once you hear him talk about it. He shares how acting and writing grew side by side almost accidentally, from staging one-acts with unemployed friends to becoming the secret ingredient that finally unlocked Altar Boyz.

By: Kevin Thomas Garcia Updated
Just last night, playwright Rick Elice moderated a post-show discussion with Sandy Duncan (known for her iconic portrayal of 'Peter Pan') and Peter and the Starcatcher's own stars about the thrills and challenges of essaying such legendary characters. BroadwayWorld was there for the event and we bring you photo coverage below!
Peter and the Starcatcher began performances on Broadway on March 28, 2012 and opened to rave reviews on April 15, 2012. The production took home five Tony® Awards, the most of any play of the 2011-12 season. In this innovative and imaginative new play, based on The New York Times best selling Disney-Hyperion novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, a company of twelve actors plays more than a hundred unforgettable characters, all on a journey to answer the century-old question: How did Peter Pan become The Boy Who Never Grew Up? This epic origin story of one of popular culture's most enduring and beloved characters proves that an audience's imagination can be the most captivating place in the world.
This is the second talkback in Peter and the Starcatcher's Wednesday Evening Talkback Series. The third discussion, entitled "The Design Superfecta," will take place on Wednesday, 10/17, after the 7 PM performance and will feature playwright Rick Elice, director Roger Rees, Tony Award-Winning Costume Designer Paloma Young, and Tony Award-Winning Set Designer Donyale Werle, discussing the creative process that led to their history-making design sweep of the 2012 Tony Awards.
