Peter and the Starcatcher brings Never Never Land to Aspen

This summer’s repertory cast of Theatre Aspen will debut the musical, Peter and the Starcatcher.

 

Peter and the Starcatcher is the prequel to Peter Pan and explores how Peter became enemies with Captain Hook. Audiences also discover how the salty pirate earned his hooked namesake.

 

Paige Price, executive artistic director of Theatre Aspen says the returning cast members add a fun local dynamic to the shows.

“So it’s kind of fun to see somebody playing a German playboy in one show and an English sailor in another.”

 

Peter and the Starcatcher runs through August 21, while the company's other current productions, Cabaret and Junie B. Jones: The Musical, continue through August 15.
