Peter and the Starcatcher, based on the novel Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, upends the century old story of how a miserable orphan boy becomes Peter Pan. The show, with a book by Rick Elice and music by Wayne Barker, follows the young orphan boy and his mates as they are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain's cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. While out at sea, a precocious young girl named Molly Aster discovers the boys; Molly is a Starcatcher-in-training, who realizes that the trunk's precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates - led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own - the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure that lays the groundwork for the beloved tale of the boy who would never grow up.

Peter and the Starcatcher will run June 26 at 8pm, June 27 at 8pm, June 28 at 8pm, June 29 at 2pm and 8pm, and June 30 at 1pm. All performances will be at Saint James Place in Great Barrington, 352 Main St. Great Barrington MA. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at ghostlitrep.com. This show is family friendly and patrons are encouraged to bring their families.
