In order to save himself from drowning, Peter rides through the waves to a nearby island and the quest to protect the treasure has just begun. Come see how this adventure concludes and witness the transformation of this miserable and lonely orphan into the character we now know as Peter Pan. ​

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
  • Black Stache (Male: 30- 50) - A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly.
  • Molly Aster (Female: 13-25) - A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.
  • Boy/Peter (Male: 13 -25) -  A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free.
  • Grempkin (Male: 40-60) - The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. Optional Doublings include: FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.
  • Mrs. Bumbrake (Male: 40-60) - Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her age to attract a sailor or two. Optional Doubling as TEACHER.
  • Bill Slank (Male: 35-55) - The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. Optional Doubling as HAWKING CLAM.
  • Smee (Male: 25-55) - Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim.
  • Prentiss (Male: 13-55) - An orphan, ambitious, hyper articulate, and logical. He yearns to be leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice.
  • Alf (Male: 50-65) - A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility.
  • Lord Leonard Aster (Male: 40-60) - Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher.
  • Captain Robert Falcon Scott (Male: 35-45) - Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.
  • Ted (Male: 13-25) - An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language.
  • Ensemble - Sailors; Seamen; Seafarers; Orphans; Pirates; Mermaids; Mollusks; Narrators​

Rehearsals will take place 3  times a week in Manassas, VA; generally on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
