Director John H. Hulse has announced open auditions for Second Street Players’ 2022 production of Peter and the Starcatcher. The show is performed by a cast of twelve actors with good physical comedy sensibility, ages 15 - 99. Auditions will consist of readings from the script, some improvisation and movement exercises, and learning a group song. Those auditioning are encouraged to bring a prepared, short comedic monologue and, if they wish, a prepared short solo of a campfire song, lullaby, sea shanty, or jingle. Casting is open to all people. Minority actors are encouraged to audition. Show dates are September 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18, 2022. The cast must be available for all show dates. Second Street Players, in keeping with the Governor of Delaware’s guidelines, currently recommends that masks be worn in indoor spaces, regardless of vaccination status.

Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher is the prequel to Peter Pan. An extravaganza of staging that relies on suggestion and storytelling, this is a coming-of-age adventure story about how a nameless orphan, inspired by a remarkable and ambitious girl, became the strange and celebrated hero who is the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up. Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters, including sailors, seamen, seafarers, orphans, pirates, mermaids, mollusks, and narrators, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair, as well as the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.

Peter and the Starcatcher is a play by Rick Elice, based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, music by Wayne Barker. Originally produced on Broadway by Nancy Nagel Gibbs, Greg Schaffert, Eva Price, Tom Smedes, and Disney Theatrical Productions.

Those needing more information, or are unable to attend the audition, but are interested in auditioning or being part of the production crew, should contact Mr. Hulse at 302-245-4147.
